(a) Find an open interval (a,b) whose direct image under f is not open.
(b) Show that the direct image of the closed interval [0, ∞) is not closed.
4. Let h: R --> R be defined h(x) := 1 if 0 ≤ x ≤ 1, h(x) := 0 otherwise. Find an open set G such that h⁻¹(G) is not open, and a closed set F such that h⁻¹(F) is not closed.
8. Give an example of a function f: R --> R such that the set {x ∈ R: f(x) = 1} is neither open nor closed in R.
