Could you explain how to show 7.2 in detail?

Definition. Let X and Y be topological spaces. A function or map f : X → Y is a
continuous function or continuous map if and only if for every open set U in Y,
f-(U) is open in X.
Theorem 7.1. Let X and Y be topological spaces, and let f : X -
the following are equivalent:
→ Y be a function. Then
(1) The function f is continuous.
(2) For every closed set K in Y, the inverse image f-'(K) is closed in X.
(3) For every limit point p of a set A in X, the image f(p) belongs to f(A).
(4) For every x E X and open set V containing f(x), there is an open set U containing x
such that f(U) V.
Theorem 7.2. Let X,Y be topological spaces and yo E Y. The constant map f : X → Y
defined by f(x) = yo is continuous.
