Restricting a Continuous Map to a Smaller Subset Preserves Continuity

If a map on a subset A of a metric space is continuous at a point, or on A, then its restriction to a smaller subset B is continuous at that point relative to B, or on B.

Statement

In the setting of Metric Spaces: Balls, the Metric Topology, and the Real and Complex Numbers as Metric Spaces, let (X,dX)(X,d_X) and (Y,dY)(Y,d_Y) be metric spaces, let AA and BB be subsets of XX with B⊆AB\subseteq A, let f:A→Yf:A\to Y be a map, and let f∣Bf|_{B} be the restriction of ff to BB, which is a map f∣B:B→Yf|_{B}:B\to Y by Domains and Restrictions of Maps (ii).

Let x∈Bx\in B. If ff is continuous at xx relative to AA, then f∣Bf|_{B} is continuous at xx relative to BB.

If ff is continuous on AA, then f∣Bf|_{B} is continuous on BB.
