Let $f: \mathbb{R}^n \to \mathbb{R}^m$ be a function that is continuous everywhere. Prove that the set $A := \{x \in \mathbb{R}^n \mid ||f(x)|| < 1\}$ is an open set in $\mathbb{R}^n$.

Step 1
This set consists of all points x in R^n such that the norm of the function f(x) is less than 1. We need to prove that A is an open set in R^n. Show more…

Consider a function f : Rn -> Rm. Prove that if f is continuous, then the graph of f is a closed subset of Rn x Rm = Rn+m

Let Y be an ordered set in the order topology. Let f, g: X → Y be continuous. (a) Show that the set {x | f(x) ≤ g(x)} is closed in X. (b) Let h: X → Y be the function defined as h(u) = max(f(u), g(u)). Show that h is continuous. [Hint: Use the pasting lemma.]

Let U ⊂ R^n be open and f: U → R^m be a continuous function on U. Prove or disprove each of the following statements: (a) If O ⊂ U is an open set in R^n, then f(O) is open in R^m. (b) If B ⊂ U is a bounded set in R^n, then f(B) is bounded in R^m. (c) If {x_k} is a Cauchy sequence in U, then {f(x_k)} is a Cauchy sequence in R^m.
