calculus - Continuity of polynomials using sequence definition of continuity.



The three step continuity definition states that :




f(x0) exists;



limxxof(x) exists; and




limxxof(x) =f(xo).




can we use this definition to prove that f(x)=a0+a1x+a2x2++anxn is continuous at every point xR.
If not, then how can we prove it. Please help


Answer



Yes you can use it but you should also apply limit laws since it is summation of individual functions i.e., x,x2.... and so on.



here is the link for the proof https://proofwiki.org/wiki/Polynomial_is_Continuous
