1. Prove each of the following:
(i) The set
R
of rational numbers is first category in the set of Reals
(ii) The set of rational numbers cannot be written as Q = EN Un
where {Un ne N} is a sequence of open subsets of R, the set of all
Reals.
2. Prove that the set 2 of integers with restriction of usual metric
on R is a complete metric space, yet it is the union of countably many
singletons. Explain why this does not contradict the Baire category
theorem?
3. Suppose that {nk ke N} is a strictly increasing sequence of
natural numbers and {xn n E N} is a sequence in a metric space X.
Then we say the sequence {nk N} is a subsequence of {n}.
Suppose that {n E N} is a Cauchy sequence in the metric space
(X, d) which has a convergent subsequence. Prove that {n} converges.
4. Suppose that X, Y and Z are metric spaces and F X Y and
g Y Z are continuous functions. prove that go f X→ Z is
continuous.
