Proof: Assume that B C 1 is disconnected, and thus we will prove that C 1 is<br />

disconnected. Consider, by clC 1 C 2 C 1 clC 2 ,<br />

C 1 clC 2 A B C 1 clA B C 1 clB *<br />

and<br />

clC 1 C 2 A B clC 1 A B clC 1 B **<br />

we know that at least one of (*) and (**) is nonempty by the hypothesis A is<br />

connected. In addition, by (*) and (**), we know that at leaset one of<br />

C 1 clB<br />

and<br />

clC 1 B<br />

is nonempty. So, we know that C 1 is disconnected by the hypothesis B is connected,<br />

and the concept of two valued function.<br />

From above sayings and hypothesis, we now have<br />

1. B is connected.<br />

2. C 1 is disconnected.<br />

3. B C 1 is disconnected.<br />

Let D be a component of B C 1 so that B D; we have, let<br />

B C 1 D E C 1 ,<br />

D clE clD E <br />

which implies that<br />

clE A E , andclA E E .<br />

So,wehaveprovethatA is disconnected wich is absurb. Hence, we know that<br />

B C 1 is connected.<br />

Remark We prove that clA E E clE A E as follows.<br />

Proof: Since<br />

D clE ,<br />

we obtain that<br />

clE A E<br />

clE D C 2 A B<br />

clE D C 2 B<br />

clE D C 2 since B D<br />

clE C 2 since D clE <br />

<strong>And</strong> since<br />

we obtain that<br />

clC 1 C 2 since E C 1<br />

.<br />

clD E ,
