Continuity And Differentiability

Question
CBSEENMA12034429

Prove that the identity function on real numbers given by f(x) = x is continuous at every real number.

Solution

Here    f(x) = x
Function f is defined for all real numbers
Let c be any real number.
therefore space straight f left parenthesis straight c right parenthesis equals straight c
Also space Lt with straight x rightwards arrow straight c below space straight f left parenthesis straight x right parenthesis equals Lt with straight x rightwards arrow straight c below space straight x equals straight c
therefore space Lt with straight x rightwards arrow straight c below space straight f left parenthesis straight x right parenthesis equals space straight f left parenthesis straight c right parenthesis
∴ f is continuous at x = c
But c is any real number.
∴  f is continuous at every real number.
