Dynamic Demonstration of Continuity of a Function at a Point
Loading the math board and drawing, please wait…
① This example visually demonstrates the geometric meaning of continuity of a function at a point, showing that as the independent variable approaches the point, the function value approaches the function value at that point. ② The core mathematical concept is the epsilon-delta definition of continuity, involving limits, function values, neighborhoods, and identification of discontinuities. ③ Construction highlights: Using GeoGebra, functions h, f, g, points A, B, C, parameter a, slider n, and multiple text objects text1 to text9 along with buttons button1 and button2 are constructed. Sliders and buttons allow interactive movement of points, dynamically showing the approach of function values to limits, with auxiliary elements like cosine functions, parametric curves, and a rhombus. ④ Suitable for calculus teaching from high school to early university levels, for intuitive understanding of continuity and limits, and for classroom demonstrations or student self-exploration.

-1f(x) = If[x ≤ 2, x^(2) - h]g(x) = If[x ≥ 2, (2 * x) + h](2, g(2))(2, f(2))01(2, 6 - (2 * a))
AI Drawing Prompt Reference
Create a dynamic demonstration of the continuity of a function f(x) at x=2. First, plot the graph of function h. Then, plot the piecewise function f(x) and g(x), where f(x) = x^2 - h for x ≤ 2 and g(x) = 2x + h for x ≥ 2. Mark points (2, g(2)) and (2, f(2)) to show the values of g(2) and f(2). Use parameter a and slider n to dynamically adjust the positions of points, illustrating how function values approach the limit. Finally, add an auxiliary rhombus and a parametric curve, along with several text labels to explain key concepts.
