It means that the function value doesn't make sudden jumps. For example, a function that rounds a number down to the closest integer is discontinuous for all integer values; for instance, when x changes from 0.99 to 1, or from 0.999999 to 1, or for any number arbitrarily close to 1 (but less than one) to one, the function value suddenly changes from 0 to 1. At other points, the function is continuous.

Is the infinite sum of continuous function continuous?

An infinite sum of continuous functions does not have to be continuous. For example, you should be able to construct a Fourier series that converges to a discontinuous function.


What does continuous mean in maths?

In mathematics, "continuous" refers to a property of functions or sets where there are no interruptions, breaks, or gaps. A function is continuous if, for any point in its domain, small changes in the input result in small changes in the output. This means that the graph of a continuous function can be drawn without lifting the pencil from the paper. Mathematically, a function ( f(x) ) is continuous at a point ( c ) if the limit of ( f(x) ) as ( x ) approaches ( c ) equals ( f(c) ).


What is the sin function?

It is a trigonometric function. It is also continuous.


What is a function whose graph has one or more breaks?

The tan [tangent] function.When a function has two or more brakes, this is not a continuous function, but it can be a continuous function in some intervals such as the tangent does.
