Continuous function

A continuous function is a function that has no sudden jumps or breaks in its graph and is defined at all points where it is continuous. It is continuous at a point when the limit exists and matches with the image of the function at that point. Examples of continuous functions include the graphs of sine and cosine functions.From: Engineering Mathematics [2019], Mathematical connections from a networking of theories between extended theory of mathematical connections and onto-semiotic approach [2022], Newnes Engineering Mathematics Pocket Book [2019]

The intermediate value theorem tells us that a continuous function takes on every value between two points. Hence, there is a point cx between cx+ and cx− so that uxxxx(cx,t0)=12(uxxxx(cx+,t0)+uxxxx(cx−,t0)).

(Intermediate Value Theorem) Iff(x)is a real-valued continuous function on an interval[a,b]and C is a value strictly betweenA=f(a)andB=f(b),then there is a point c with a < c < b such thatf(c)=C.

P11: States the following definition of a continuous function at a point: a function is continuous at a point when the limit exists and matches with the image of the function at that point (in fact, he answers the third question).
