Example 16 Prove that every rational function is continuous.Every Rational function ๐‘“(๐‘ฅ) is of the form ๐’‡(๐’™)= ๐’‘(๐’™)/๐’’(๐’™) where ๐‘ž(๐‘ฅ) โ‰  0 & ๐‘, ๐‘ž are polynomial functions Since ๐‘(๐‘ฅ) & ๐‘ž(๐‘ฅ) are polynomials, and we know that every polynomial function is continuous. Therefore, ๐’‘(๐’™) & ๐’’(๐’™) both continuous By Algebra of continuous function If ๐‘, ๐‘ž are continuous , then ๐’‘/๐’’ is continuous. Thus, Rational Function ๐‘“(๐‘ฅ)= ๐‘(๐‘ฅ)/๐‘ž(๐‘ฅ) is continuous for all real numbers except at points where ๐’’(๐’™) = 0
