Analyzing Function Continuity and Limits

The video tutorial explores piecewise functions and how to determine their continuity at a point. It covers both graphical and algebraic perspectives, using three tests for continuity. The first example demonstrates a continuous piecewise function, while the second example illustrates a function with an infinite discontinuity. The tutorial emphasizes understanding the function value, limits, and the application of continuity tests.
