(a) Let (X, d) be a metric space. Prove that the complement of any finite set F C X is open. Note: The empty set is open. (b) Let X be a set containing infinitely many elements, and let d be a metric on X. Prove that X contains an open set U such that U and its complement UC = X\U are both infinite.
08. (3+2+1+1=7 marks) Let (E, d) be a metric space and let A be a non-empty subset of E. Recall the distance from a point x e E to A is defined by dx, A) = inf da, a).. a. Show that da, A) - dy, A) <d(x,y)Vxy e E. Let U and V be two disjoint and closed subsets of E, and define f: E- dz,U) R by f(x) = 0(2,U) + d(«,V) b. Show that f is continuous...
Let X be a non-empty set. Show that the only dense subset of X with respect to the discrete metric ddise is X. The whole set of any metric spaces is always dense, so this question is really asking you to exclude all other possibilities. Show that if (X, d) is a metric space and has dense subset A + X, then (X, d) is not topologically equivalent to (X, ddisc). (Note that this is another way of showing that...

Then An has exactly one member. csc'anno proach onsdelered. c) Show that, in part (a), n A, may be empty if the requirement that the diameters
1.5.7 Prove the following separately Theorem 1.5.10. Let (X,d) be a metric space. (a) IfY is a compact subset of X, and Z C Y, then Z is compact if and only if Z is closed (b) IfY. Y are a finite collection of compact subsets of X, then their union Y1 U...UYn is also compact. (c) Every finite subset of X (including the empty set) is compact.
4. (Suggested by Keenan) Let d: X X X + Rxo be a semimetric on a set X. We say that d is an ultrametric if it satisfies the strong triangle inequality: d(21, 12) <max{d(21,13), (13,12) }; for all 11, 12, 13 e X. (a) hamuga prottu mupretatus காபாடியமாடு படியy: (b) Let (x, d) be an ultrametric space. Show that every triangle in (x,d) is isosceles, that is, if d(11,13) <d(22, 23) and d(11,12)<max{d(11, 13), d(13, 22), then d(21, 23)...

Let (X, d) be a discrete space and let (Y, d′) be any metric space. Prove that any function f : (X, d) → (Y, d′) is continuous. (Namely, any function from a discrete space to any metric space is continuous.)
