Step 1
Since f is one-one and onto, we know that it has an inverse function, say g: Y ~ X. Show more…

Prove that if Y is an indiscrete topological space, then every function f from a topological space X to Y is continuous.

Theorem 26.6. Let f : X → Y be a bijective continuous function. If X is compact and Y is Hausdorff, then f is a homeomorphism. Proof. We shall prove that images of closed sets of X under f are closed in Y; this will prove continuity of the map f^-1. If A is closed in X, then A is compact, by Theorem 26.2. Therefore, by the theorem just proved, f(A) is compact. Since Y is Hausdorff, f(A) is closed in Y, by Theorem 26.3.

If f is a continuous function from a space X to a space Y, consider the graph of f, given by G(f) = {(x,y): y = f(x)}. (i) Show that G(f) is homeomorphic to X. (ii) If Y is a Hausdorff space, show that G is a closed subset of X x Y.
