Lemma 4.6.6. Let \mathcal{C} be a category. Let f : x \to y be representable. Let y' \to y be a morphism of \mathcal{C}. Then the morphism x' := x \times _ y y' \to y' is representable also.
Proof. Let z \to y' be a morphism. The fibre product x' \times _{y'} z is supposed to represent the functor
\begin{eqnarray*} w & \mapsto & h_{x'}(w)\times _{h_{y'}(w)} h_ z(w) \\ & = & (h_ x(w) \times _{h_ y(w)} h_{y'}(w)) \times _{h_{y'}(w)} h_ z(w) \\ & = & h_ x(w) \times _{h_ y(w)} h_ z(w) \end{eqnarray*}
which is representable by assumption. \square
