Reason: Euclidean space is open in itself; class C^k implies class C^1; and the coordinate functions of a C^k or smooth map are continuous both in the Euclidean sense and as metric maps.

Statement

Let nn and mm be natural numbers and let R\mathbb{R} be the real numbers. Regard Euclidean space Rn\mathbb{R}^{n} as a metric space through the Euclidean distance dEd_{E}, which is a metric by Euclidean Distance is a Metric on Rn\mathbb{R}^n, and regard R\mathbb{R} as a metric space through the metric dRd_{\mathbb{R}} of The Absolute Value Metric on the Real Line.

Then the following hold.

1. (The whole space is open) Rn\mathbb{R}^{n} is an open subset of Rn\mathbb{R}^{n}.

2. (Class CkC^{k} implies class C1C^{1}) Let URnU\subseteq\mathbb{R}^{n} be open, let F=(F1,,Fm):URmF=(F_{1},\dots,F_{m}):U\to\mathbb{R}^{m}, and let kk be a natural number. If FF is of class CkC^{k} on UU, then FF is of class C1C^{1} on UU.

3. (Continuity) Let UU, FF and kk be as in claim 2, with FF of class CkC^{k} on UU. Then for every jj with 1jm1\le j\le m the coordinate function Fj:URF_{j}:U\to\mathbb{R} is continuous in the Euclidean sense at every point of UU, and is also continuous relative to UU at every point of UU, as a map from UU into (R,dR)(\mathbb{R},d_{\mathbb{R}}). The same conclusions hold if FF is instead assumed smooth on UU.
