continuous

  1. Relating to a line or curve that extends without a break or irregularity.
  2. A function in which changes, however small, to any x- value result in small changes to the corresponding y- value, without sudden jumps. Technically, a function is continuous at the point c if it meets the following condition: for any positive number 蔚, however small, there exists a positive number 未 such that for all x within the distance 未 from c , the value of f ( x ) will be within the distance 蔚 from f ( c ). Polynomials, exponential functions, and trigonometric functions are examples of continuous functions.
