Emetophobia in the general population (Christie, 2004). Some experts believe that emetophobia may be linked to worries about lack of control. Many people try to control themselves and their environment in every possible way, but vomiting is difficult or impossible to control. There are many factors that can cause a legitimate case of emetophobia. Emetophobics are indeed severely mentally ill. Dr. Angela L. Davidson "et al". conducted an experiment where it was concluded through various surveys that people suffering from emetophobia are more likely to have an internal locus of control pertaining to their everyday life as well as health-related matters.
Continuous function sudden jump in function values. Similarly, the signum or sign function is discontinuous at formula_74 but continuous everywhere else. Yet another example: the function is continuous everywhere apart from formula_74. Besides plausible continuities and discontinuities like above, there are also functions with a behavior, often coined pathological, for example, Thomae's function, is continuous at all irrational numbers and discontinuous at all rational numbers. In a similar vein, Dirichlet's function, the indicator function for the set of rational numbers, is nowhere continuous. The intermediate value theorem is an existence theorem, based on the real number property of completeness, and states: For
