calculus - Continuity of polynomials using sequence definition of continuity.



The three step continuity definition states that :




$f(x_0)$ exists;



$\lim_{x \to x_o} f(x)$ exists; and




$\lim_{x \to x_o} f(x)$ =$f(x_o)$.




can we use this definition to prove that $f(x)=a_0+a_1x+a_2x^2+\ldots+a_nx^n$ is continuous at every point $x \in \mathbb R$.
If not, then how can we prove it. Please help$\ldots$


Answer



Yes you can use it but you should also apply limit laws since it is summation of individual functions i.e., $x , x^2....$ and so on.



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