FACULTY OF MATHEMATICS AND STATISTICS HW 1 Recall:
Let f: X Y be a map, A X, B Y.
The image of A by f is the set f(A) = {f(x) : x A}
The inverse image of B by f is the set 1
f (B) = {x X : f(x) B} Therefore,
o y f(A) iff x A, f(x) = y o x 1 f (B) iff f(x) B
A topology on a set X is a collection of subsets of X (that called open sets) such that: (i) and X are open.
(ii) Union of open sets is open.
(iii) Finite intersection of open sets is open.
The usual topology on R is defined as follows:
A subset A of R is open iff x A, open interval (,) such that x (,) A.
In R, every open interval is open. Problems:
1/ Let f: X Y and A1, A2 X.
Prove that if A1 A2 then f(A1) f(A2).
2/ Let f: X Y and B1, B2 Y
Prove that if B1 B2 then f –1(B1) f –1(B2).
3/ Let f: X Y and A1, A2 X. Prove that f(A
1 A2) = f(A1) f(A2) and f(A1 A2) f(A1)f(A2).
4/ Let f: X Y and B1, B2 Y Prove that f –1(B 1
B2) = f –1(B1)f –1(B2) and f –1(B1 B2) = f –1(B1)f –1(B2).
5/ Let f: X Y and A X. Prove that A 1 f (f (A)) .
6/ Let f: X Y and B Y. Prove that 1 f (f (B)) B . INTRODUCTION TO TOPOLOGY Dr. Chu Duc Khanh Semester 2, 2025-2026 TON DUC THANG UNIVERSITY
