Metric and Topological Spaces
Part IB, 2007

Are the following statements true or false? Give a proof or a counterexample as appropriate.

(i) If f:XYf: X \rightarrow Y is a continuous map of topological spaces and SXS \subseteq X is compact then f(S)f(S) is compact.

(ii) If f:XYf: X \rightarrow Y is a continuous map of topological spaces and KYK \subseteq Y is compact then f1(K)={xX:f(x)K}}\left.f^{-1}(K)=\{x \in X: f(x) \in K\}\right\} is compact.

(iii) If a metric space MM is complete and a metric space TT is homeomorphic to MM then TT is complete.
