Could you explain how to show 6.15 in detail?

The next theorem completely characterizes the sets in \(\mathbb{R}_{\text{std}}\) that are compact. This theorem, known as the Heine-Borel Theorem, is one of the fundamental theorems about the topology of the line.

Recall a set \(A\) in \(\mathbb{R}^1\) is **bounded** if and only if there is a number \(M\) such that \(A \subset [-M, M]\).

**Theorem 6.15 (Heine-Borel Theorem).** Let \(A\) be a subset of \(\mathbb{R}_{\text{std}}\). Then \(A\) is compact if and only if \(A\) is closed and bounded.

**Theorem 6.17.** Every compact subset \(C\) of \(\mathbb{R}\) contains a maximum in the set \(C\), i.e., there is an \(m \in C\) such that for any \(x \in C\), \(x \leq m\).
