real analysis - Finding a counter example to one of four formulas for images and inverse images




So this is a question out of Real Analysis book that I'm working through, and I'm quite stuck.



Give a counterexample to one of the following four formulas for images and inverse images of sets (the other three are true)




  1. f(X1X2)=f(X1)f(X2),

  2. f1(Y1Y2)=f1(Y1)f1(Y2),

  3. f(X1X2)=f(X1)f(X2),

  4. f1(Y1Y2)=f1(Y1)f1(Y2)




I went through Overview of basic results about images and preimages and from other resources I can find online, all 4 of these are true... I can't figure out what I am missing.



Thanks for the help


Answer



3 is false, if F is a contant map and X1,X2 disjoint.
Exercise. Prove for 3 that the
left hand side is a subset of the right hand side.
