Let f : R → R be a strictly increasing continuous function. Show that f maps nowhere
dense sets to nowhere dense sets; that is, f(E) = {f(x) : x ∈ E} is nowhere dense if E
is nowhere dense.
Expert Solution
Step 1
Given be a strictly increasing continuous function.
We have to show that maps sense sets to nowhere dense sets that is is nowhere dense if
is nowhere dense that is .
Let us suppose
