Technically, a function is continuous at the point c if it meets the following condition: for any positive number ε, however small, there exists a positive number δ such that for all x within the distance δ from c , the value of f ( x ) will be within the distance ε from f ( c ). Polynomials, exponential functions, and trigonometric functions are examples of continuous functions.
