Concept explainers
Determining Continuity In Exercises 11-40, describe the interval(s) on which the function is continuous. Explain why the function is continuous on the interval(s). If the function has a discontinuity, identify the conditions of continuity that are not satisfied. See Examples 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.
