Question
![Example: In the Euclidean metric space (R, I-1), we have the following:
1.
The closed interval (a , b] is compact because it closed and bounded.
2.
The interval [0, 00) is not compact because it not bounded.
3.
The open interval (0, 1) is not compact because it is not closed and there is an open covering of the form
{(0, 1-):n = 2,3,.) of (0, 1) but has no finite subcovering.
4.
Z is not compact because it is not bounded.
R is not compact because there is an open cover of the form { (-n, n) : n € Z* } but it has no finite subcovering.
