Let A, B and X be topological spaces. If A can not be embedded into B then A × X can not be embedded into B x X. This conjecture turns out to be false however. We can take A = S¹ and B = X = R as a counterexample. (a) Proof that this is indeed a counterexample, i.e. show that S¹ can not be embedded into R, but S¹ × R can be embedded into R².

Please prove the following question step by step:

 

Let A, B and X be topological spaces. If A can not be embedded into B then A × X can
not be embedded into B × X.
This conjecture turns out to be false however. We can take A = S¹ and B = X = R as
a counterexample.
(a) Proof that this is indeed a counterexample, i.e. show that S¹ can not be embedded
into R, but S¹ × R can be embedded into R².
