Metric and Topological Spaces | Part IB, 2007

Are the following statements true or false? Give a proof or a counterexample as appropriate.

(i) If f:X→Yf: X \rightarrow Y is a continuous map of topological spaces and S⊆XS \subseteq X is compact then f(S)f(S) is compact.

(ii) If f:X→Yf: X \rightarrow Y is a continuous map of topological spaces and K⊆YK \subseteq Y is compact then f−1(K)={x∈X:f(x)∈K}}\left.f^{-1}(K)=\{x \in X: f(x) \in K\}\right\} is compact.

(iii) If a metric space MM is complete and a metric space TT is homeomorphic to MM then TT is complete.
