Could you explain how to show 4.16 in easiest possible way(in very detail)?

**Definition.** Suppose \( X \) and \( Y \) are topological spaces. The **product topology** on the product \( X \times Y \) is the topology whose basis is all sets of the form \( U \times V \), where \( U \) is an open set in \( X \) and \( V \) is an open set in \( Y \).

(2) \( X \) is **Hausdorff**, or a \( T_2 \)-space, if and only if for every pair \( x, y \) of distinct points there are **disjoint** open sets \( U, V \) such that \( x \in U \) and \( y \in V \).

**Theorem 4.16.** Let \( X \) and \( Y \) be Hausdorff. Then \( X \times Y \) is Hausdorff.
