15.K. Let f be monotone increașing on / [а, б] to R. If c € (a, 6), dehne l(c) l(c) = sup {f(x): I < c}, T(c) = inf {f(x): x > c}, j(c) = r(c) – (c). Show that l(c) < f(c) < r(c) and that f is continuous at c if and only if j(c) Prove that there are at most countably many points in (@, b) at which the mono tone function is discontinuous.

15.3 DISCONTINUITY CRITERION. The function f is not continuous
at a point a in D if and only if there is a sequence (xn) of elements in D
which converges to a but such that the sequence (f(xn)) of images does not
converge to f(a).

15.K. Let f be monotone increașing on J = [a, b} to R. If c € (a, b), define
l(c) = sup {f(r): I < c},
r(c) = inf (f(x): x > c},
j(c) = r(c) – (c).
Show that l(c) < f(c) < r(c) and that f is continuous at c if and only if j(c)
Prove that there are at most countably many points in (a, b) at which the mono-
tone function is discontinuous.
