Consider the given function as
f(x)=x16x2
Definition of continuity
Function is said to be continuous if limxaf(x)=limxa+f(x)=f(a)
Let a point c[4,4] then,
limxcf(x)=limxcx16x2
=c16c2
And
limxc+f(x)=limxc+x16x2
=c16c2
And
f(c)=c16c2
So, limxcf(x)=limxc+f(x)=f(c)
Hence, function is continuous on the given interval [-4,4]
