1.- Prove the intermediate value theorem: let (X, τ) be a connected topological space, f: X - → Y a continuous transformation and x1, x2 ∈ X with a1 = f (x1), a2 = f (x2) ( a1 different a2). Then for all c∈ (a1, a2) there is x∈ such that f (x) = c.

2.- Let f: X - → Y be a continuous and suprajective transformation. Show that if X is connected, then Y too.

(a) This exercise will give an example of a connected space which is not locally connected. In the plane R2 , let X0 = [0, 1] × {0}, Y0 = {0} × [0, 1], and for each n ∈ N, let Yn = {1/n} × [0,1]. Let Y = X0 ∪ (S∞ n=0 Yn). as a subspace of R 2 with its usual topology. Prove that Y is connected but not locally connected. (Note that this example also shows that...

Let X be a topological space with topology T = P(X). Prove that X is finite if and only if X is compact. (Note: You may assume you proved that if ∣X∣ = n, then ∣P(X)∣ = 2 n in homework 2, problem 2 and simply reference this. Hint: Ô⇒ follows from the fact that if X is finite, T is also finite (why?). Therefore every open cover is already finite. For the reverse direction, consider the contrapositive. Suppose X...
