Prove that $ \partial f(E) \subseteq f(\partial E) $

40 Views Asked by At

Let $f:\Bbb R \to \Bbb R$ be a $C^1$ function, and let $E \subset \Bbb R$ be a jordan measurable set. Prove: $\; \partial f(E) \subseteq f(\partial E) $

Trying to prove it as part of another proof, been stuck for a while. Ideas?

This is not true. Say $E=[-1,1]$ and $f(x)=x^2$. Then $\partial f(E)=\{0,1\}$ and $f(\partial E)=\{1\}$.
