Is a Function Continuous If It Maps Closure to Closure in Metric Spaces?

Hi,
can anyone help me ?

Given Topological Spaces (metric spaces) (X, d1) and (Y,d2), show that a function f: X -> Y is continuous if and only if f(cl of A) is a subset of cl of f(A) for all A subset X1.

How can i proof this ?

Thank you!

What is your definition of continuous?? What properties did you see already about continuity??

What did you try already to solve this problem??
 
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...
