### Intersection of images is empty implies intersection of preimages is empty. [duplicate]

Let $f:(X,\tau_X) \rightarrow (Y,\tau_Y)$ be a continuous function between topological spaces. Can you show that $$U,V\in \tau_Y, ~U\cap V = \emptyset \implies f^{-1}(U)\cap f^{-1}(V) = \emptyset.$$ ...

### Do we have always $f(A \cap B) = f(A) \cap f(B)$? [closed]

Suppose $A$ and $B$ are subsets of a topological space and $f$ is any function from $X$ to another topological space $Y$. Do we have always $f(A \cap B) = f(A) \cap f(B)$? Thanks in advance

### Is $f^{-1}(f(A))=A$ always true?

If we have a function $f:X\rightarrow Y$ where $A\subset X$, is it true to say that $f^{-1}(f(A))=A$?

### Prove $F(F^{-1}(B)) = B$ for onto function

Suppose that $f:X \to Y$ is an onto function. Prove that for all subsets $B$ subset of $Y$, $f(f^{-1}(B)) = B$. I don't know how to do this if the function is not also one to one, which it is not. Any ...

### Why $f^{-1}(f(A)) \not= A$ [duplicate]

Let $A$ be a subset of the domain of a function $f$. Why $f^{-1}(f(A)) \not= A$. I was not able to find a function $f$ which satisfies the above equation. Can you give an example or hint. I was asking ...
### Proving $f(C) \setminus f(D) \subseteq f(C \setminus D)$ and disproving equality
Let $f: A\longrightarrow B$ be a function. 1)Prove that for any two sets, $C,D\subseteq A$ , we have $f(C) \setminus f(D)\subseteq f(C\setminus D)$. 2)Give an example of a function $f$, and sets $C$...
