Proposition:
Continuity preserves limits
- If f is continuous at a point c in the domain D, and
{
} is a sequence
of points in D converging to c, then
f(x)
= f(c).
- If
f(x)
= f(c) for every sequence {
}
of points in D converging to c, then f is continuous at
the point c.
Proof:
The proof is very similar to the previous result about the equivalence
of the two definitions of limits for a function. It is therefore
left as an exercise. It would be good practice to see if you can
modify the previous proof and adapt it to this result.
