Expert Solution
Step 1

A function f(x) is said to be continuous at a point x=a if its left hand and right hand limits exits and are equal to the functional value at that point. That is limxa-f(x)=limxa+f(x)=f(a).

A function is said to be differentiable at a point x=a if the limit limxaf(x)-f(a)x-a exist. Also a limit exist only if its left hand and light hand limits exist and are equal.
