Answer:

It has been proved that T is compact

Step-by-step explanation:

To prove this using the definition of compactness, let's assume that T is

not compact. Now, if that be the case, an open cover of T will exist. Let's call this open cover "A". Now, this open cover will have no finite subcover.

Now, from the question, since T is closed, it’s complement R\T will be open.

Therefore, if we add the set R\T to the collection of sets A, then we'll have an open cover of R and also of S.

Due to the fact that S is compact, this

cover will have a finite sub - cover which we will call B.

Finally, either B itself or B\{R\T} would be a finite sub - cover of A. This is a contradiction.

Thus, it proves that T has to be compact if S is to be a compact subset of R and T is to be a closed subset of S.

The midpoint of AB is M (2,0). If the coordinates of A are, (-3, 3), what are the coordinates of B?

gregori [183]

Given:

M is the midpoint of AB.

M(2,0) and A(-3, 3).

To find:

The coordinates of point B.

Solution:

Midpoint formula:

$Midpoint=\left(\dfrac{x_1+x_2}{2},\dfrac{y_1+y_2}{2}\right)$

Let the coordinates of point B are (a,b). Then, using the midpoint formula, we get

$(2,0)=\left(\dfrac{-3+a}{2},\dfrac{3+b}{2}\right)$

On comparing both sides, we get

$\dfrac{-3+a}{2}=2$

$-3+a=2\times 2$

$a=4+3$

$a=7$

And,

$\dfrac{3+b}{2}=0$

$3+b=0$

$3+b-3=0-3$

$b=-3$

Therefore, the coordinates of point B are (7,-3).
