Showing $B$ Borel set, then $f^{-1}(B)$ is a Borel set with $f$ continuous function.

$begingroup$


Let $f:mathbb{R}to [-infty,infty]$ continuous function.



(a) Let $Omega=left{E:f^{-1}(E) text{ is a Borel set } right}$. Show that $Omega$ is $sigma$-algebra.
I already proved this. :)



(b) Let $B$ be a Borel set. Show that $f^{-1}(B)$ is a Borel set.



For (b) I have this.
$f$ continuous then $f$ is measurable, because $B$ is a Borel set, then $f^{-1}(B)$ is a Borel set.
It is correct?...

    No, your logic is assailable. Since $f$ is continuous, $Omega$ contains the open sets, and since it is a $sigma$-field, it contains all the Borel sets.

It appears that you are assuming what you are supposed to prove. The purpose of this exercise is to prove that a continuous function is Borel measurable. The correct argument is to use a): the sigma algebra in a) contains all open sets because $f^{-1}(U)$ is open for any open set $U$; if a sigma algebra contains all open sets it contains all Borel sets because Borel sigma algebra is the smallest sigma algebra containing all open sets.
