Let $X = { (x, sin(1/x)) : 0 <x leq 1 } cup { (0,y) : -1leq y leq 1}$ and $Y = [0,1)$. Are $X$ and $X...












1












$begingroup$


Consider $X = { (x, sin(1/x)) : 0 <x leq 1 } cup { (0,y) : -1leq y leq 1}$ as a subspace of $mathbb{R}^2$ and $Y = [0,1)$ as a subspace of $mathbb{R}$. Then which of these options are correct?




  1. $X$ is connected.


  2. $X$ is compact.


  3. $X times Y$ (in product topology) is connected.


  4. $X times Y$ (in product topology) is compact.



My answer is : option $1)$ and option $3)$ are true: by the graph I can show it's connected.



Option $2)$ and option $4)$ are false because the graph is unbounded so it is not compact.



Is this correct? Any hints/solution will be appreciated.



Thank you.

    Personally, I don't know what graph you're talking about, so I'd be skeptical.

No! $X$ is compact, The minimum bounded is $1$. For closedness, the second set is the set of limit points of the first one.





For connectedness of $X$, note that the first set, call $A$, in $X$ is the continous image of $(0,1]$ under $x mapsto sin 1/x$ . Now $(0,1]$ is connected , so is its continuous image $A$. Also $A$ is connected implies $overline{A}$ is conneceted. But $overline{A}=X$ and so $X$ is connected !



The latter two is easy to determine and it is left as an exercise to you :-)
