verify the assertion. (Subspace example)
1) The set of continuous real-valued functions on the interval
[0,1] is a subspace of R^[0,1]
This is from Linear Algebra Done Right- Sheldon Axler 3rd
edition.
I don't understand why the solution uses a integral.
3) Prove that the cardinality of the open unit interval, (0,1),
is equal to the cardinality of the open unit cube:
{(x,y,z) E R^3|0<x<1, 0<y<1,
0<Z<1}.
[Hint: Model your argument on Cantor's proof for the
interval and the open square. Consider the decimal expansion of the
fraction 12/999. It may prove handdy]
In RU (R is the reals, U is the usual topology), prove that any
open interval (a, b) is homeomorphic to the interval (0, 1). (Hint:
construct a function f : (a, b) → (0, 1) for which f(a) = 0 and
f(b) = 1. Show that your map is a homeomorphism by showing that it
is a continuous bijection with a continuous inverse.)
Prove that the discrete topology on X is the same as the metric
topology induced by the discrete metric.
Where metric topology is defined as:
If (X,d) is a metric space, then consider the collection T of
all open subsets of X. Then (X,T) is topological space. This
topology is called the metric topology on X induced by d.
Prove or disprove that the union of two subspaces is a subspace.
If it is not true, what is the smallest subspace containing the
union of the two subspaces.
