Real Polynomial Function is Continuous/Proof 2

Proof
From Linear Function is Continuous‎, setting $\alpha = 1$ and $\beta = 0$, we have that:
 * $\ds \lim_{x \mathop \to c} x = c$

Repeated application of the Product Rule for Limits of Real Functions shows us that:
 * $\ds \forall k \in \N: \lim_{x \mathop \to c} x^k = c^k$

Now let $\map P x = a_n x^N + a_{n - 1} x^{n - 1} + \cdots + a_1 x + a_0$.

By repeated application of the Combined Sum Rule for Limits of Real Functions, we find that:
 * $\ds \lim_{x \mathop \to c} \map P x = \map P c$

So whatever value we choose for $c$, we have that $\map P x$ is continuous at $c$.

From the definition of continuity on an interval, the second assertion follows.
