How do i show this in detail?
![Every rational number \( x \) may be written in the form \( x = m/n \) with \( n > 0 \) and \( m, n \) coprime integers. Define the function \( f : (0, 1) \to \mathbb{R} \) with

f(x) =
\begin{cases}
0 & \text{if } x \text{ irrational} \\
\frac{1}{n} & \text{if } x \text{ rational and } x = \frac{m}{n}
