Is Pearson's correlation a continuous function?

69 Views Asked by At

the Pearson correlation is an important measure to detect linear association between two random variables, but is it continuous function?

I'm trying see whether the following is true: $\lim_{C \to c} \rho(X, Z + CY) = \rho(X, Z + cY)$.

where $\rho$ is the Pearson correlation and C, c are scalars. It seems trivial for me but I couldn't prove it
