If K is a compact set and (xn)n is a sequence in K, then (xn)n is a Cauchy sequence.
a. False, and here is a counter example: K = [0, 2], (n)n = (0, 3/2, 0,4/3, 0,5/4...).
b. True, because any sequence in a compact set must converge.
c. True, because Cauchy sequences are bounded and so are compact sets.
d. False, and here is a counter example: K = (0, 1), (Xn)n = (1/2, 1/3, 1/2, 1/3, ...).
