Where is it used in the proof? \setcounter{section}{2} \section{15.4} \section{17.4} \section{17.8} \section{17.9} (a, b) \section{18.2} \section{18.5, 18.7} \section{18.10} \section{Extra credit.} Prove that our definition of continuity (either one) is equivalent to the following definition: ``a function $f(x)$ is continuous if and only if $f^{-1}(U)$ is open for any open $U\subset \R$''. Here $f^{-1}(U)$ is the set of all elements $\{r\in \R\mid f(r)\in U\}.$ \end{document}
