Question

Notation: For $f: X \to Y$ and $E \subseteq X$ set $f(X) = \{f(e) \mid e \in E\}$, this is called the image of E under $f$. Problem 5.1 (R:4:2*). Let $f: X \to Y$ be continuous. Let $E \subseteq X$, show that $f(Cl(E)) \subseteq Cl(f(E))$. By example, show that this containment can be proper, that is $f(Cl(E)) \neq Cl(f(E)))$ can hold.

Notation: For f: X → Y and E ⊆ X set f(X) = {f(e) | e ∈ E}, this is called the image of
E under f.
Problem 5.1 (R:4:2*). Let f: X → Y be continuous. Let E ⊆ X, show that f(Cl(E)) ⊆
Cl(f(E)). By example, show that this containment can be proper, that is f(Cl(E)) ≠
Cl(f(E))) can hold.

Step 1

Step 1: To show that f(Cl(E)) ⊆ Cl(f(E)), we need to show that for any y in f(Cl(E)), y is also in Cl(f(E)). Show more…

Notation: For f:x->Y and Esubex set f(x)={f(e)|einE}, this is called the image of E under f. Problem 5.1 (R:4:2*). Let f:x->Y be continuous. Let E sube x, show that f(Cl(E)) sube Cl(f(E)). By example, show that this containment can be proper, that is f(Cl(E))⊈ Cl(f(E)) can hold. Notation: For f : X >Y and E C X set f(X)={f(e)|e E E},this is called the image of E under f. Problem 5.1 (R:4:2*). Let f : X Y be continuous. Let E C X,show that f(Cl(E)) Cl(f(E)). By example, show that this containment can be proper, that is f(Cl(E)) C1(f(E))) can hold.
