let x be Function of REAL,REAL; :: thesis: ( x is continuous implies @ ((@ x) |^ n) is continuous )
assume A1: x is continuous ; :: thesis: @ ((@ x) |^ n) is continuous
defpred S₁[ Nat] means @ ((@ x) |^ $1) is continuous ;
A2: for n being Nat st S₁[n] holds
S₁[n + 1]

proof

let n be Nat; :: thesis: ( S₁[n] implies S₁[n + 1] )
assume A3: S₁[n] ; :: thesis: S₁[n + 1]
@ ((@ x) |^ (n + 1)) = ((@ x) |^ n) * (@ x) by Th20
.= (@ ((@ x) |^ n)) (#) (@ (@ x)) by Th13 ;
hence S₁[n + 1] by A1, A3; :: thesis: verum

end;

A5: S₁[ 0 ] by Lm5;
for n being Nat holds S₁[n] from NAT_1:sch 2(A5, A2);
hence @ ((@ x) |^ n) is continuous ; :: thesis: verum
