  • Prove that $f_A (x) = d({{x}}, A)$, is continuous.

Let A be a non empty closed subset of $R^n$. $f:R^nto R$ by $f(x)= d(x,A)$ at each $xin R^n$ , where $d(x,A) = inf {d(x,y) , y in A}$.
Prove that $f$ is continuous on $R^n$.



It seems that it is true, but sets are not compact. I need some hints. Do you have any?
