Expert Solution
Step 1

Actually, the the difficult part is not to find such function f but to find such space X. Here I have given one example. 

Take  X  be the topologist's sign curve (consider this as a subspace of R^2) 

i.e.  X = {(0,y) : -1<=y<=1}  U  {(x, sin(1/x)) : 0<x<=1} 

This X is a famous example of a space which is connected but not path connected. 

Now,  Take  Y = R
