Let 

\[
\{C_r : r \in [0, \infty)\}
\]

be the family of indexed sets given by

\[
C_r = \{(x, y) \in \mathbb{R}^2 : x^2 + y^2 = r^2\}
\]

**a) Describe each of the sets \(C_r\) geometrically.**

Each set \(C_r\) represents a circle in the Euclidean plane \(\mathbb{R}^2\) with radius \(r\) and centered at the origin (0,0). The equation \(x^2 + y^2 = r^2\) describes all the points \((x, y)\) that are at a distance \(r\) from the origin.

**b) Prove:**

\[
\bigcup_{r \in [0, \infty)} C_r = \mathbb{R}^2
\]

The union of all sets \(C_r\) as \(r\) ranges from 0 to infinity is equal to the entire Euclidean plane \(\mathbb{R}^2\). Essentially, this means that any point in \(\mathbb{R}^2\) can be included within at least one circle centered at the origin with a sufficiently large radius.
