Given the series definition of the exponential function, i.e. exp(x)=∑_k=0^infty x^k/k!. Given that I have already proven that polynomials are continuous, does from this fact follow the continuity of the exponential function ?

Given the series definition of the exponential function, i.e. exp ( x ) = k = 0 x k k ! . Given that I have already proven that polynomials are continuous, does from this fact follow the continuity of the exponential function ?

Almost. The fact that polynomial functions are continuous together with the fact that that power series converges uniformly to the exponential function on any bounded subset of R is enough, since uniform convergence preserves continuity.
