Solution Preview

A function f : X → Y from a topological space X to a topological space Y is continuous if for every open set V ⊆ Y the pre-image f^−1(V ) is open in X.

Consider the map f(x) = ∥x∥ from X to R. Let V be open in R. Then, for every y∈V there's a number r>0 such that the set B(y,r)={z∈R: |z − y| < r} is ...
