Answer:

The function is continuous for all real numbers

Explanation:

We have the following function


y=(x^2)/(x^2+1)

Note that the denominator of the function is:


x^2 +1

This expression is different from zero for all real numbers, since for
x^2 +1 then
x^2 =-1, there is no number in the real numbers whose square root is equal to -1.

For this reason the function is defined for all real numbers and has no discontinuity.

This function is always positive, continuous and has horizontal asymptote


y = 1
