Frequently Asked Questions
How does this calculator work?
Enter a function and point, then the calculator checks the three conditions of continuity: function exists, limit exists, and they're equal.
What inputs are required?
Enter a function expression f(x) using standard notation and the x-value where you want to check continuity.
What are the three conditions of continuity?
1) f(a) must exist, 2) lim(x→a) f(x) must exist, 3) lim(x→a) f(x) = f(a). All three must be satisfied.
What types of discontinuities exist?
Removable (hole), jump (different left/right limits), and infinite (vertical asymptote) discontinuities.
How are limits calculated?
The calculator approximates limits by evaluating the function at points very close to the target value from both sides.
What function formats are supported?
Basic polynomials, rational functions, and simple expressions. Use x as variable, ^ for powers, * for multiplication.
Can this help with calculus homework?
Yes! It's perfect for verifying continuity in calculus problems, understanding limit behavior, and checking your work.
