2 (Second picture is the definition of compactness)
### Compactness in Topology

(b) We say that \( K \) is **compact** if every open cover of \( K \) has a finite subcover; that is, if \( \mathcal{J} \) is an open cover of \( K \), we can find finitely many sets in \( \mathcal{J} \), say \( G_1, G_2, \ldots, G_n \) such that

\[ K \subseteq \bigcup_{j=1}^{n} G_j. \]

_DEFINED TERMS_

- **Open cover**: A collection of open sets whose union includes the space \( K \).
- **Finite subcover**: A finite number of sets from the original open cover that still covers \( K \).

This concept is fundamental in topology and essential for understanding various properties and behaviors of topological spaces.

### Question 2

Prove directly (i.e. from the definition of compactness) that if \( K \) is a compact subset of \( \mathbb{R}^p \) and \( F \) is a closed subset of \( K \), then \( F \) is also compact.
