Homeomorphism between the open sets of the circle and the open sets of real line

I'm trying to prove the homeomorphism between the open intervals
of the real line and the open sets
of the circle with the induced topology of R^2.
Notice that the open sets of the circle is the intersection between
the open balls in R^2 and the circle itself.
Anyone can help me?

thank you.

Can you name any bijections (not necessarily homeomorphisms) between \mathbb{R} and the circle? Then we can check whether these are homeomorphisms, or if there's an obvious modification to make them so.
 
There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
