Continuity of piecewise functions{{CMD_1}}{{PREAMBLE_2}}{{CMD_3}}
{{CMD_4}}
Here we use limits to check whether piecewise functions are continuous.

Before we start talking about continuity of piecewise functions, let's remind ourselves of all famous functions that are continuous on their domains.
{{CMD_7}}{{CMD_8}}{{CMD_9}}
The following functions are continuous on their natural domains:
{{CMD_10}}
{{CMD_11}} Constant functions {{CMD_12}}
{{CMD_13}} Polynomials {{CMD_14}}
{{CMD_15}} Rational functions {{CMD_16}}
{{CMD_17}} Power functions {{CMD_18}}
{{CMD_19}} Exponential functions {{CMD_20}}
{{CMD_21}} Logarithmic functions {{CMD_22}}
{{CMD_23}} Trigonometric functions{{CMD_24}}
{{CMD_25}} Inverse trigonometric functions {{CMD_26}}
{{CMD_27}}
In essence, we are saying that the functions listed above are
continuous wherever they are defined.
