True or false: If {{MATH_170}} and {{MATH_171}} are continuous functions on an
interval {{MATH_172}}, then {{MATH_173}} is continuous on {{MATH_174}}.

Let's assume that {{MATH_183}} is an open interval and {{MATH_184}} is a number in {{MATH_185}}. Remember, since {{MATH_186}} and {{MATH_187}} are both continuous on {{MATH_188}}, they are both continuous at {{MATH_189}}.
This means that {{MATH_190}} and {{MATH_191}}.
Now, define a new function, {{MATH_192}}, where {{MATH_193}}, for all {{MATH_194}} in {{MATH_195}}. We have to show that {{MATH_196}} is continuous at {{MATH_197}}, or that
{{MATH_198}}
Lat's start with
{{MATH_199}}
and, therefore,
{{MATH_200}}
We have proved that {{MATH_201}} is continuous at any number {{MATH_202}} in {{MATH_203}}. Therefore, {{MATH_204}} is continuous on {{MATH_205}}.
Similarly, we can prove that {{MATH_206}} is continuous on any interval {{MATH_207}}, by showing it is left-or right-continuous at the endpoints.
We can adjust the proof for the function {{MATH_208}}.
