The modulus of a power is the power of the modulus; constants and the identity are continuous, and continuity at a point of complex-valued functions on a subset of a metric space is preserved by sums, products, scalar multiples, nonvanishing reciprocals, composition, real and imaginary parts, moduli and conjugates, and is equivalent to continuity of the real and imaginary parts.
In the setting of Complex Analysis: Standing Notation, let be a metric space, let , let , let be functions, and let . Continuity at relative to is as in Continuous Map Between Metric Spaces (i), for on , on and the distance of Metric Spaces: Balls, the Metric Topology, and the Real and Complex Numbers as Metric Spaces (iv) on . Sums, scalar multiples, products and quotients of functions , and the functions and , are defined pointwise.
