Example 14 Show that every polynomial function is continuousLet š’‡(š’™)=š’‚_šŸŽ+š’‚_šŸ š’™+š’‚_šŸ š’™^šŸ+ … +š’‚_š’ š’™^š’ š‘›āˆˆš’ be a polynomial function Since Polynomial function is valid for every real number We prove continuity of Polynomial Function at any point c Let c be any real number f(x) is continuous at š‘„ = š‘ if (š„š¢š¦)┬(š±ā†’š’„) š’‡(š’™)= š’‡(š’„) L.H.S (š„š¢š¦)┬(š±ā†’š’„) š’‡(š’™) = lim┬(xā†’š‘) " " (š‘Ž_0+š‘Ž_1 š‘„+ … +š‘Ž_š‘› š‘„^š‘› ) Putting x = c = š‘Ž_0+š‘Ž_1 š‘+ … +š‘Ž_š‘› š‘^š‘› R.H.S š’‡(š’„) = š‘Ž_0+š‘Ž_1 š‘+ … +š‘Ž_š‘› š‘^š‘› Since, L.H.S = R.H.S ∓ Function is continuous at x = c Thus, we can write that f is continuous for all š’™ āˆˆš‘ i.e. Every polynomial function is continuous.
