then consider f being Function of I[01],((TOP-REAL n) | P) such that

f . 1 = p2 by TOPREAL1:def 1;
reconsider P9 = P as non empty Subset of (TOP-REAL n) by A1, TOPREAL1:1;
A3: f is continuous Function of I[01],((TOP-REAL n) | P9) by A2, TOPS_2:def 5;
A4: [#] I[01] is connected by CONNSP_1:27, TREAL_1:19;

A6: [#] ((TOP-REAL n) | P) = P by PRE_TOPC:def 5;
dom f = [#] I[01] by A2, TOPS_2:def 5;
then A7: P = f .: ([#] I[01]) by A5, A6, RELAT_1:113;
