metric space sets
Hi,

Attachment 20060

I just can not find a set.

A little help:

(i) $\displaystyle A$ closed, bounded and compact is possible.

Choose $\displaystyle A=\{0\}$

(ii) $\displaystyle A$ closed, not bounded and compact is impossible because:

$\displaystyle A$ is compact iff $\displaystyle A$ is closed and bounded.

...

With sixty other postings, you should understand that this is not a homework service nor is it a tutorial service. So you need to show some of your own work on this problem or explain what you do not understand about the question.

Here is a start. $\displaystyle [0,1]$ is closed, bounded, and compact.
$\displaystyle (0,\infty)$ is not closed, not bounded, and not compact.

I have considered some cases:

1 A union of closed and bounded set atr compact.

i.e [0,1] U [2,3]

2. (0,1) not closed so not compact

3. {1/n, n=1,2,3,...} U {0} compact bounded and closed

4. empty set compact bounded and closed

5. set R of all real numbers. Not compact

I gave you the answers for the first line and the last line.

Thank you so much i can finish this question up
The text passage is a discussion about metric space sets, specifically about the properties of sets being closed, bounded, and compact. It includes a user asking for help and receiving guidance from other users.
no_question

the passage does not contain a specific mathematical question that requires a numerical or calculative answer. instead, it is a discussion where a user is seeking help to understand the properties of certain sets in a metric space.
Given a text passage, determine:
    1. If it contains a mathematical question (including word problems or calculations)
    2. If an answer to that mathematical question is provided in the text

First, describe the content structure you found in 1-2 sentences.

Then provide your analysis in the following format:
TYPE: <one of the following values>
- NO_QUESTION
- SINGLE_QUESTION
- SINGLE_QUESTION_WITH_ANSWER
- MULTIPLE_QUESTIONS
- MULTIPLE_QUESTIONS_WITH_ANSWERS
