Theorem
Suppose
is continuous then![]()
![]()
Proof
Suppose
is continuous. Since![]()
![]()
The set
is closed and
is continuous so
is also closed so![]()
Hence
and![]()
Suppose that for![]()
and let
be any closed subset of![]()
and let![]()
![]()
Hence![]()
Since
we have
and the inverse image of any closed subset of
is a closed subset of
Hence
is continuous.
