Question
State whether the following is true or false:
a) The set [0,4] with the usual metric is sequentially compact
b) The set [0, 1] with the discrete metric is compact.
c) Any cover of a metric space is open.
Expert Solution
Step 1
(a) The set [0,4] with the usual metric is sequentially compact.
This statement is true.
Considering be the usual metric space and X=[0,4] be with the usual metric.
then X and X=[0,4] is closed and bounded.
We know that a subset of the metric space is closed and bounded if and only if it is compact.
And also we know that a compact metric space is sequentially compact.
Here [0,4] is a subset of and it is closed and bounded.
Hence it implies that The set [0,4] with the usual metric is sequentially compact
