About this resource
PowerPoint presentation, 10 slides explaining how to describe three kinds of discontinuities: Removable discontinuities, Infinite discontinuities and jump discontinuities
In the classroom
Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
Classify a discontinuity as removable, jump or infinite using f(a) and one-sided limits
Determine the intervals on which a rational function is continuous
Teaching tips
Each example shows its full solution, so you could pause before the solution step and have students predict the classification first.
Skills covered
Evaluating one-sided limits — worked examples compare left and right limits at a point to decide the type of break
