Suppose f(x) is defined on the entire line and continuous at the
origin with the property that f(α+β)=f(α)+f(β)
where α,β∈R. Prove that f(x) must be
continuous at every point x=a.
Try:
First notice that f(0)=f(0+0)=f(0)+f(0)=2f(0)⟹f(0)=0. Since f continuous at zero, then lim. Next, let a be arbitary real number. Then,
\lim_{ x \to a} f(x) = \lim_{x \to a} f(x-a)+f(a)=_{h = x-a} \lim_{h \to 0} f(h) + f(a) = 0 + f(a)=f(a)
So f is continuous everywhere.
Is this a correct solution?
