## Metrics and Compactness in Metric Spaces

### 1. Determine if the following functions are metrics on \(\mathbb{R}\):

Given \(x, y \in \mathbb{R}\):
  **(a)** \(d_1(x, y) = \sqrt{|x - y|}\)
  **(b)** \(d_2(x, y) = (x - y)^4\)

### 2. Interior Points and Openness

Let \(E \subseteq X\) where \(X\) is a metric space. Let \(E^\circ\) denote all the interior points of \(E\). 
**Note:** \(E^\circ\) is an open set—you don’t have to prove this, but you can use this fact to prove the following.

#### (a) Show that \(E\) is open if and only if \(E = E^\circ\).

#### (b) Prove that if \( G \subseteq E \) and \( G \) is open, then \( G \subseteq E^\circ \).

### 3. Compact Subsets

Let \( K_1 \) and \( K_2 \) be compact subsets of a metric space \(X\). Prove that \( K_1 \cup K_2 \) is compact.

### 4. Collection of Compact Subsets

Let \( \{ K_\alpha \}_{\alpha \in A} \) be a collection of compact subsets of a metric space \(X\). Show that \( \cap_{\alpha \in A} K_\alpha \) is closed in \(X\).

### 5. Open Sets and Compactness in \(\mathbb{R}\)

#### (a) Consider the collection of open sets, \( \{(-n, n)\}_{n = 1}^{\infty} \) in \(\mathbb{R}\) with the usual metric \( d(x, y) = |x - y| \). Use this collection of open sets to show \(\mathbb{R}\) is not compact. Make sure to prove \(\mathbb{R} = \cup_{n \in \mathbb{N}} (-n, n)\) as part of your work.

#### (b) Give an example of a collection of compact sets in \(\mathbb{R}\), say \( \{K
