Module 2 : Limits and Continuity of  Functions
Lecture 6 : Properties of Continuous Functions [ Section 6.1 : Discontinuities ]
 

(ii) Removable discontinuity :

     If  exists but is not equal to , then such
     a discontinuity is called a removable discontinuity, for the function can
     be redefined as to make it continuous.

     For example, the function

                                      

 as shown in the figure has removable discontinuity at
  with .

Examples:
 
(i) The function is not continuous at c,
    if c is an integer, since the left limit is not equal to the
    right limit. The function has jump discontinuities at
    such points.
