How do I figure out which intervals on a graph is g continuous.

OpenStudy (amistre64):

usually by looking at the graph and seeing if it has breaks or not

OpenStudy (amistre64):

if its by equation, the type of equation determines continuity

OpenStudy (amistre64):

and if its piece wise defined .... than id just toss it out and kick the teacher

The graph has a lot of breaks. It also has solid dots and open dots, do the dots have a meaning

OpenStudy (amistre64):

solid dots means the graph equals it; a hollow dot means that it approaches it, but never equals it

OpenStudy (amistre64):

if the graph is broken up; then the intervals in which it is not broken up are continuus

Okay now how do i know when to use ( or ]

OpenStudy (amistre64):

OpenStudy (amistre64):

think of the square brackets as an equals sign with a bar

OpenStudy (amistre64):

the only other option you got is a not equals ... so that has to be the (

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay so if it is an open dot, I would use )
