Transcribed Image Text:**Exercise 4: Continuity in Topological Spaces**
If \( X \) is a topological space and \( f_1, \ldots, f_n : X \to \mathbb{R} \) are continuous functions, demonstrate that both \( \min_{i=1}^{n} f_i \) and \( \max_{i=1}^{n} f_i \), defined by the equalities (1), are continuous.
---
**Explanation**:
This exercise involves working with continuous functions within the context of a topological space. Given a set of continuous functions \( f_1, \ldots, f_n \), you are asked to prove that the pointwise minimum and maximum of these functions are also continuous.
There are no graphs or diagrams in the image, only mathematical text.
