A city installs a digital sensor to measure the water level of a river over time during heavy rainfall. Emergency officials watch the graph of the water level to decide when to close a nearby bridge. Ideally, the graph should show the water rising and falling in a way that reflects how water actually behaves in nature. However, one day the graph suddenly jumps from 8 feet to 14 feet in one second, even though no large wave or dam release occurred. An engineer says this kind of behavior would make the data unreliable for predicting flooding. Explain what it means for a function to behave in a way that accurately reflects gradual changes in the real world, using the river height scenario as an example. Describe what the graph of such a function would look like and explain why sudden jumps or breaks in the graph could create problems for the engineers monitoring the bridge.
