TITLE: Show that if $x$ is a limit point of $A\subset X$ and $f:X \rightarrow Y$ is continuous then $f(x)$ is a limit point of $f(A)$
QUESTION [5 upvotes]: Suppose $f:X\rightarrow Y$ is a continuous function between the topological spaces $X$ and $Y$. Suppose that: $A \subset X$ and that  $x$ is a limit point of $A$.
Show that $f(x)$ is a limit point of $f(A)$
By a limit point $c$ of $B$ I mean that every neighborhood of $c$ intersects $B$ in a point $d$ such that $c\not = d$
What I have done is that: I supposed that $x$ is a limit point of $A$ but $x\not\in A$ and showed the required. but in the case when $x \in A$. My trial goes as follows:
Suppose $W$ was a neighborhood of $f(x)$ so $f^{-1}(W) \text{is a neighborhood of } x$. So $ f^{-1}(W) \cap A \not=\emptyset$ because $x$ is a limit point of $A$. Say $y\in f^{-1}(W) \cap A$. So $f(y)\in A$ and $f(y)\in W$. Now, if  $x\not\in A$ then $f(x) \not\in f(A)$ but $f(y)\in A$ so $f(y)\not = f(x)$. So $W$ intersects $f(A)$ in a point $f(y)$ which is different of $f(x)$
If $x\in A$, it may happen that $f$ is not injective and happen that  $f(x)=f(y)$ in which case I can't show that f(x) is a limit point of $f(A)$.
I've tried to came with a counter-example using constant functions on real functions. but it didn't works
What to do? any hints?

The statement is false, here is a concrete example:
Let $f:\mathbb{R}\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ where, $f(x)=2$ for all $x\in \mathbb{R}$. So $f$ is a constant function.
Note that we denote the set of limit points of $H$ by $H'$.
Let $A = [0,1]$.
So, $A' = [0,1]$.
$f(A)=f([0,1])=\{2\}$, but $f(A)'=\emptyset$ because {$2$} has no limit points as if $x\not = 2$  is a real number then there is always an interval $C$ containing $x$ but not contaning $2$.
So Although $1$ is a limit point of $A$, $f(1)=2$ is not a limit point of $f(A)=\{2\}$.
