Continuity
3 things make a function continuous at a number "c":
the limit of the function must equal the value of the function at that point, i.e. limit f(x) as x approaches c = f(c).
the limit of f(x) as x approaches that number "c" must exist
f(c) is defined

Theorems
INTERMEDIATE VALUE
if there is a continuous function on a closed interval [a,b] and w is any number between f(a) and f(b) then there is a point c in [a,b] where f(c) = w.

Example. Find lim x→0 x 2 cos(1 x ) . Hide Solution
squeeze theoremSince −1≤cos(1 x )≤1 for all x (actually we are interested only in x near 0) then −x 2 ≤x 2 cos(1 x )≤x 2 . Since lim x→0 x 2 =lim x→0 −x 2 =0 then by Squeeze theorem lim x→0 x 2 cos(1 x )=0 .
On the figure you can see that x 2 cos(1 x ) is squeezed between x 2 and −x 2 .
