Step 1
Hint:
zw2=(x0y02)+(zx0)+(y02w2)
>(x0y02)|zx0||wy0||w+y0|
(x0y02)|zx0||wy0|(2y0|wy0|)
>(x0y02)ϵϵ(2y0ϵ)
(Note that y0>0).

Step 1
Let f(x,y)=yx2
Then, your set becomes:
S={(x,y)R:y>x2}={(x,y)R:yx2>0}
={(x,y)R:f1(0)}
The set (0,) is an open subset of R and since f is continuous, then f1(0) is also open
This concludes the proof.
