Hi,

Thank you for your quesiton.

We have from the definition of continuity of g at c:
1-) lim g(x) = g(c)
      x->c

and the definition of continuity of f at g(c)
2-) lim f(x) = f(g(c))
      x->g(c)

Therefore we have:
lim f o g(x) = lim f(g(x))
 x->c           x->c

             = f(g(c))   (using 1-) and 2-)

This proves continuity of f o g at c.


There is another proof on page 5 of this document:

I hope this helps. If you need any clarifications please do not hesitate to ask.

Thanks.
endo
