We aimed to investigate the concept image of these subjects about the relation between limit and continuity of a function, through an exploratory study done in two stages. The results were related to the researches of Tall and Vinner (1981), Vinner (1991) that composed our theoretical framework. Among the evoked concept images, we emphasize the idea that when a function is not defined in one point of the domain implies, necessarily, in the non-existence of the limit of that function in that point. That is, according to them, the limit’s existence depends on the continuity of the function.Acesso AbertoImagem conceitualLimite de uma funçãoMatemáticaEstudantes universitáriosArtigo de Periódico
