real analysis - Does a differentiable function map open intervals to open intervals?



I know that preimages are open for open images, since differentiability implies continuity. I suspect there is a counterexample to the above though. This is not homework, just study.


Answer



No. Consider $f(x)=x^2$ and the open interval $(-1,1)$.
