Let XX and YY be metric spaces, and f:X→Yf: X \rightarrow Y a continuous surjective mapping. Prove that if MM is an everywhere dense set in XX, then its image f(M)f(M) is an everywhere dense set in YY.

A set BB is called dense in a set AA if the closure of BB contains AA, i.e., Bˉ⊃A\bar{B} \supset A. Let the function ff be continuous on XX, let the set AA be dense in XX, let f(X)f(X) be the set of all values of the function f(x)f(x) for x∈Xx \in X, and let f(A)f(A) be the set of all values of the function for x∈Ax \in A. Prove that f(A)f(A) is dense in f(X)f(X).

Prove that if ff is a continuous mapping of a space XX onto a space YY and EE is a set dense in XX, then f(E)f(E) is a set dense in YY.

Let ( M,dM, d ) be a metric space, let f:M→Rf: M \rightarrow \mathbb {R} be continuous, and let E⊂ME \subset M. Prove that sup⁡{∣f(x)∣:x∈E}=sup⁡{∣f(x)∣:x∈Eˉ}\sup \left\{ \left|f(x)\right|: x \in E\right\} =\sup \left\{ \left|f(x)\right|: x \in \bar{E}\right\}.

Let ( M,dM, d ) be a metric space and A⊂MA \subset M. Suppose that functions f,g:M→Rf, g: M \rightarrow \mathbb {R} are continuous and f(x)=g(x)f(x)=g(x) when x∈Ax \in A. Prove that f(x)=g(x)f(x)=g(x) for all x∈Aˉx \in \bar{A}.

Let ff and gg be continuous mappings of a metric space XX into a metric space YY, and let EE be a dense subset of XX. Prove that f(E)f(E) is dense in f(X)f(X). If g(p)=f(p)g(p) = f(p) for all p∈Ep \in E, prove that g(p)=f(p)g(p) = f(p) for all p∈Xp \in X. (In other words, a continuous mapping is determined by its values on a dense subset of its domain).
