Proof of equivalence well defined function
$begingroup$
This is the definition:
Definition 1:
A function $f:Dsubseteq Rto R^n$ is said to be continuously differentiable of a $C^1$ function, if f is differentiable and the first derivative of f is continuous.
Definition 2:
A curve C in $R^n$ is smooth simple arc if C has a 1-1 $C^1$ parametrization of the form $f:[a,b] to R^n$, the points f(a) and f(b) are then called the end points of the arc$
Now comes the theorem:
Let C be a smooth simple arc in $R^n$ simply parametrised by a smooth 1-1 function, $f:[a,b]subseteq Rto R^n $ Then any smooth parametrisation $h:[c,d]subseteq Rto R^n$ of C is 1-1 and is equivalent to f.
Now as the definition of equivalent is not what I am wondering about so I am not going to post it. My question is simply with regards to how the proof starts:
It starts as follows:
Proof
The function $Phi=f^{-1}circ h$ is well defined and maps $[c,d]$ onto $[a,b]$ and satisfies $h=fcircPhi$.
Now if are okey with this I understand the how the proves follow, however, I am getting stuck with the part where they state that $Phi$ is well defined.
Question
1) Why is $Phi$ well defined?
2) Why does it satisfy $h=fcircPhi$

It is well defined since $h $ and $f^{-1}$ are. The equality in (2) follows from its definition.

- It is well defined because $f$ is one-to-one and therefore $f^{-1}$ exists as a map from $fbigl([a,b]bigr)bigl(=hbigl([a,b]bigr)bigr)$ into $mathbb R$ and because $hbigl([a,b]bigr)subset D_{f^{-1}}$.
- Because $Phi= f^{-1}circ himplies fcircPhi=fcirc(f^{-1}circ h)=h$.
