Combination Theorem for Continuous Functions/Sum Rule

Theorem

Real Functions

Let $f$ and $g$ be real functions which are continuous on an open subset $S \subseteq \R$.

$f + g$ is ‎continuous on $S$.

Complex Functions

Let $f$ and $g$ be complex functions which are continuous on an open subset $S \subseteq \C$.

$f + g$ is ‎continuous on $S$.
