Lecture Notes: Continuity and Differentiability

Introduction

• Warm welcomes and greetings from the lecturer
• Focus on Continuity and Differentiability
• Recommended to subscribe to the channel for updates, especially for live sessions
• Emphasis on the importance of watching live sessions for better understanding

Continuity

Definitions and Conditions

• Continuity at a point requires:
  1. Function must be defined at that point.
  2. Limit of the function as it approaches the point must exist.
  3. Limit of the function as it approaches the point must equal the function's value at that point.
• Mathematical representation:
  • ( \lim_{{x \to c^-}} f(x) = \lim_{{x \to c^+}} f(x) = f(c) )

Properties of Continuous Functions

• Sum, difference, product, and quotient (when the denominator is non-zero) of two continuous functions are continuous.
• Composite functions of continuous functions are continuous.

Differentiability

Definition and Conditions

• A function is differentiable at a point if the derivative exists at all points in an interval containing that point.
• Mathematical representation:
  • ( f'(x) = \lim_{{h \to 0}} \frac{{f(x+h) - f(x)}}{h} )
• Differentiability implies continuity, but continuity does not imply differentiability._

Classifications

• Differentiation using standard rules (product rule, quotient rule, chain rule)
• Examples and problem-solving:
  • Example problems shown live and step-by-step solutions were provided

Detailed Explanation

• Limit definitions and properties reviewed
• Problem-solving strategies highlighted:
  • Clearing denominators using algebraic manipulation
  • Applying limit definitions and verifying conditions for continuity

Practical Examples

• Discussed specific questions and scenarios such as Differentiating certain functions, Assessing their limits, Continuity at specific points, and identifying where they are not differentiable
• Example: Differentiability at a point using the first principles and other differentiation rules
• Explorations of trigonometric, logarithmic, and composite functions
