Solution Summary

Tychonoff and Hausdorff Spaces are investigated. The solution is detailed and well presented.

For each x in X we denote by H(x) an open set of X, containing x, such that
f[H(x)] is open and f:H(x) --> f[H(x)] is a homeomorphism.
These exist by f being a local homeomorphism.

Note that f is an open map, so that f[X] is (non-empty) open in Y.
Also, X is compact, so f[X] is a compact subset of the Hausdorff space Y,
so f[X] is closed. But in a connected space, the only non-empty closed-and-open set is Y.
So f[X] = Y and ...
