 Solution

A homeomorphism is a bijection for which both the function and its inverse are continuous maps.

Let $f:X\to Y$ satisfy the given assumptions. For a closed subset $F$ of $X$, the closed subset of a compact space theorem makes $F$ compact. The continuous image of a compact space theorem makes $f(F)$ compact. Because $Y$ is Hausdorff, its compact subset $f(F)$ is closed. Thus $f$ is a closed map.

For $g=f^{-1}:Y\to X$, the inverse image of a closed set $F\subseteq X$ iswhich is closed in $Y$. The closed-set criterion for continuity therefore makes $g$ continuous. Hence $f$ is a homeomorphism, proving the compact-to-Hausdorff continuous bijection theorem.
