In a metric space (X, d) the closed ball of radius ε > 0 about the point x in X is the set

B(x; ε) = {yX: d(x,y)< ε}.

(a) Prove that B(x; ε) is a closed set.


(b) Prove that cl N(x; ε) ⊆ B(x; ε).


(c) Find an example of a metric space (X, d), a point xX, and a radius ε > 0 such that cl N(x; ε) ≠ B(x; ε).
