Example 6 Prove that the identity function on real numbers given by f (x) = x is continuous at every real number.Given 𝑓(π‘₯)=π‘₯ To check continuity of 𝑓(π‘₯), We check it’s if it is continuous at any point x = c Let c be any real number f is continuous at π‘₯ =𝑐 if (π₯𝐒𝐦)┬(𝐱→𝒄) 𝒇(𝒙)=𝒇(𝒄) L.H.S (π₯𝐒𝐦)┬(𝐱→𝒄) 𝒇(𝒙) "= " lim┬(x→𝑐) " " π‘₯ = 𝑐 R.H.S 𝒇(𝒄) = 𝑐 Since, L.H.S = R.H.S ∴ Function is continuous at x = c Thus, we can write that f is continuous for x = c , where c βˆˆπ‘ ∴ f is continuous for every real number.
