Could you explain how to show 7.13 in detail? **Definition.** Let \( X \) and \( Y \) be topological spaces. A function or map \( f : X \rightarrow Y \) is a **continuous function** or **continuous map** if and only if for every open set \( U \) in \( Y \), \( f^{-1}(U) \) is open in \( X \).**Definition.** Let \( f : X \rightarrow Y \) be a function between topological spaces \( X \) and \( Y \), and let \( x \in X \). Then \( f \) is **continuous at the point** \( x \) if and only if for every open set \( V \) containing \( f(x) \), there is an open set \( U \) containing \( x \) such that \( f(U) \subset V \). Thus a function \( f : X \rightarrow Y \) is continuous if and only if it is continuous at each point.**Theorem 7.13.** Let \( f : X \rightarrow Y \) be a function and let \( \mathcal{B} \) be a basis for \( Y \). Then \( f \) is continuous if and only if for every open set \( B \) in \( \mathcal{B} \), \( f^{-1}(B) \) is open in \( X \).
