Prove that $S^2 vee S^2$ is path connected?



Let $a$ and $b$ be two points in a topological space $X$. A path in $X$ from $a$ to $b$ is a continuous map $f$ from [0,1] to $X$ s.t $f$(0) = $a$ and $f$(1)=$b$.



A topological space X is said to be path connected iff given any two points $a$ and $b$ , there exists a path in $X$ from a to b



I can draw but i can’t give a function.

    What is $s^2$? What is $*$? Did you mean the $2$-dimensional sphere $S^2$ and the wedge sum? I don't think its the Cartesian product cause otherwise how can you draw it? That would require some serious skill. :)

    $X * Y$ is not usual notation for the wedge of pointed spaces $X$ and $Y$: the wedge is usually written $X vee Y$. $X * Y$ is the usual notation for the topological join of $X$ and $Y$. As you now write $X mathop{x} Y$, you almost certainly mean the product $X times Y$ (as Asaf suggests) and you definitely need to start using MathJax to typeset your questions.

Let $p$ be the joining point, which belongs to both copies of $S^2$.



Let $x_1,x_2in S^2vee S^2$. There exist paths $f_1, f_2$ such that $f_i(0)=x_i$ and $f_i(1)=p$. Then consider the path



$$F(t) = begin{cases} f_1(2t) , tin[0,.5) \ f_2(2-2t) , tin[0.5,1]end{cases}$$



Note, $F(t)$ is sometimes called the path composition of $f_1, f_2^{-1}$ and might be notated $f_1*f_2^{-1}$ (the "inverse" because here I traverse $f_2$ backwards).



There was also nothing special about $S^2$ here.

Apolo y la Nueve Musas En la mitología griega, las musas (en griego antiguo μοῦσαι « mousai» ) son, según los escritores más antiguos, las divinidades inspiradoras de las Artes: cada una de ellas está relacionada con ramas artísticas y del conocimiento. Son hijas de Zeus y de Mnemósine, compañeras del séquito de Apolo, dios olímpico de la música y patrón de las bellas artes, quien tuvo romances con cada una de ellas, dejando descendientes. Bajaban a la tierra a susurrar ideas e inspirar a aquellos mortales que las invocaran. En la época más arcaica eran las ninfas inspiradoras de las fuentes, en las cuales eran adoradas. Finalmente, alrededor de los siglos VIII-VII a. C. [ 1 ] ​ prevaleció en todo el territorio de la Hélade la adoración de las nueve Musas, que son Calíope, Clío, Erato, Euterpe, Melpómene, Polimnia, Talía, Terpsícore y Urania. El culto a las musas era originalmente de Tracia y Beocia, y fueron de vital impo...
