A function f is continuous at x = a if:
A.f(a) exists only
B.The limit exists only
C.The limit exists, f(a) exists, and they are equal
D.f prime of a exists
Explanation
Core Concept
A function is continuous at x = a if three conditions are met: f(a) is defined, the limit as x approaches a exists, and the limit equals f(a).
Correct Answer
CThe limit exists, f(a) exists, and they are equal
