Smooth function has derivatives of all orders. Polynomials have derivatives of all orders, thus polynomials are smooth functions.

For example: f(x)=2x+3 => f'(x)=2 => f''(x)=0 => f'''(x)=0...

So all derivatives exist. (Derivative being zero is ok.)

Their continuity can be proven using the Weierstrass (epsilon-delta) definition.

Why do scientists use line graphs instead of bar graphs to show population change?

Usually the change is tracked against time and time is a continuous variable. It is customary, when the independent variable is continuous, to use line graphs. However, if the data are populations at five- or ten-year intervals - for example, from censuses - then you might find that they are shown as a bar graph.
