Show that the quotient space is homeomorphic to the n-disc
$begingroup$
Let $sim$ denote the equivalence relation on the $n$-sphere $S^n$ defined via
$$
(x_1,dots,x_n,x_{n+1})sim(x_1,dots,x_n,−x_{n+1}):text{ for all }: (x_1,dots,x_{n+1})in S^n.
$$
Show that the quotient space $S^n/sim$ is homeomorphic to the $n$-disc $D^n$.
I know that Ii have to show that there exists a bijective function $f: (S^n/sim) to D^n$ that is continuous and that the pre-image $f^{-1}$ is continuous as well, but I can't advance from here, any tips?

Hint: Define$$begin{array}{rccc}fcolon&S^n/sim&longrightarrow&D^n\&bigl[(x_1,ldots,x_n,x_{n+1})bigr]&mapsto&(x_1,ldots,x_n).end{array}$$

$begingroup$
Okay, i see, but my struggle is to advance from here, how do i show that the function is continuous and furthermore that the pre image is?

Two things. First of all: it is not pre-image, it's the inverse function of $f$. Secondly: you asked for a tip and I provided one.

@MathMatich the inverse function is clear: map $(x_1, x_2,ldots, x_n)$ to the class of $(x_1,x_2,ldots,x_n, 1-sqrt{sum_{i=1}^n x^2_i})$. $f$ being continuous is clear (it's a projection in essence) and compactness does the rest as soon as you know it's a bijection.

I suppose that it's a typo and that it should be$$left(x_1,x_2,ldots,x_n,sqrt{1-sum_{n=1}^n{x_n}^2}right).$$
