TheoremBase

The delta supplied by uniform continuity works at each fixed point, and the symmetry of the metric matches the order of the arguments.

Proof

Each result cited is universally quantified over the data in its own statement.

Let x∈Ax\in A and let ε∈R\varepsilon\in\mathbb{R} be positive. By Uniformly Continuous Map Between Metric Spaces there is a positive δ∈R\delta\in\mathbb{R} such that all z,z′∈Az,z'\in A with dX(z,z′)<δd_{X}(z,z')<\delta satisfy dY(f(z),f(z′))<εd_{Y}(f(z),f(z'))<\varepsilon.

Let y∈Ay\in A satisfy dX(x,y)<δd_{X}(x,y)<\delta. Taking z=xz=x and z′=yz'=y, which are admissible since x,y∈Ax,y\in A, gives dY(f(x),f(y))<εd_{Y}(f(x),f(y))<\varepsilon. By condition 3 of Metric Space applied to the metric dYd_{Y}, dY(f(y),f(x))=dY(f(x),f(y))d_{Y}(f(y),f(x))=d_{Y}(f(x),f(y)), so dY(f(y),f(x))<εd_{Y}(f(y),f(x))<\varepsilon.

Thus for every positive ε\varepsilon there is a positive δ\delta such that every y∈Ay\in A with dX(x,y)<δd_{X}(x,y)<\delta satisfies dY(f(y),f(x))<εd_{Y}(f(y),f(x))<\varepsilon; that is, ff is continuous at xx relative to AA by Continuous Map Between Metric Spaces. As xx was an arbitrary point of AA, ff is continuous on AA by that same item.
