Homework Statement


This is a topology.

Let f: X -> Y be a bijective function.

If I want to show that f|_{A}, where A is a set in X, is a homeomorphism, I need to show that:

1)If U is open in the subspace topology of f(A) (w.r.t. Y), then f^{-1}(U) is open in the subspace topology on A (w.r.t X)

2)If U is open in the subspace topology of A (w.r.t X), then f(U) is open in the subspace topology on f(A) (w.r.t. Y)

and then I am done, correct?

Yes. That will prove that f|A is a homeomorphism between A and f(A).
 
Thanks. That helps!
