Proof sketch: every open ball of ℝⁿ lies in ℝⁿ; a Cᵏ function is C⁰ by the hierarchy, hence continuous.
Throughout, the arithmetic and order of are used through The Structure of ℝ as a Field and an Ordered Ring (i), The Structure of ℝ as a Field and an Ordered Ring (ii), Arithmetic and Order Rules in the Real Numbers, Stated for ℝ (v), Arithmetic and Order Rules in the Real Numbers, Stated for ℝ (ix), Rules of Arithmetic and Order in an Ordered Field (iii) and The Quotient 1/x, Order Rules for Sums, and Nesting of Closed Intervals in ℝ (i), norms and distances in through Properties of the Euclidean Norm on : Square, Distance, Vanishing, Coordinate Bounds, Homogeneity, Triangle Inequalities and Expansion of a Square (ii), Properties of the Euclidean Norm on : Square, Distance, Vanishing, Coordinate Bounds, Homogeneity, Triangle Inequalities and Expansion of a Square (v), Properties of the Euclidean Norm on : Square, Distance, Vanishing, Coordinate Bounds, Homogeneity, Triangle Inequalities and Expansion of a Square (vi) and Standard Basis Vectors of ℝ^q: Coordinates, Orthonormality and Unit Length (iii), and and are metric spaces by with the Euclidean Distance Is a Complete Metric Space with Coordinatewise Convergence (i) and The Absolute Value Metric on the Real Numbers (i).
By The Open Subsets of a Metric Space Form a Topology (i), the open subsets of the metric space form a topology on , and a topology on a set contains the whole set by Topological Space (ii). Hence is open in , which is (i).
