Continuity is an attribute of a function. A continuous function refers to a function in which the change of input is small enough and the change of output is small enough. Example: The function L(t) of hair length changing with time is continuous.
Derivative describes the derivative of a function at a certain point. Necessary and sufficient conditions for derivability ① The function is continuous at this point (derivability must be continuous) ② The left derivative and the right derivative exist and are equal.
Derivability must be continuous, and continuity is not necessarily derivable. For example, the absolute value function f(x) =|x| is not differentiable at x=0 (the left and right derivatives are not equal).
The analysis of a function at a certain point means that the function can be derived anywhere at that point and its neighborhood.
No point defined. For example, the pole of f(x) = 1/x is 0.
If the function f(x) is continuous in the closed interval [a, b] and reachable in the open interval [a, b], and f(a) = f(b), then x0∈(a, b) exists, so
f'(x0) = 0
