Trigonometric functions are continuous in their respective domains.
Every polynomial function is continuous on R.
If f (x) and g (x) are two continuous functions and c e R then at x = a
(i) f (x) g (x) are also continuous functions at x = a.
(ii) g (x) . f (x), f (x) + c, cf (x), | f (x)| are also continuous at x = a.
