SUMMARY
An epsilon-disc in R^n is path-connected, meaning any two points within the disc can be connected by a continuous path. To demonstrate this, one must define a continuous function f over the interval [a,b] such that f(a) = x and f(b) = y for any two points x and y in the epsilon-disc. A straightforward approach is to construct the path through the center of the disc, ensuring that the function remains continuous throughout the interval.
