e) A real valued function f f fff on [ a , b ] [ a , b ] [a,b][a, b][a,b] is continuous if it is integrable on [ a , b ] [ a , b ] [a,b][a, b][a,b].

Answer:

a) The outer measure m m m^(**)m^*m of the set A = { x R : x 2 = 1 } [ 3 , 2 ] A = x R : x 2 = 1 [ 3 , 2 ] A={x inR:x^(2)=1}uu[-3,2]A=\left\{x \in \mathbb{R}: x^2=1\right\} \cup[-3,2]A={xR:x2=1}[3,2] is 0.
Let’s evaluate the statement: "The outer measure m m m^(**)m^*m of the set A = { x R : x 2 = 1 } [ 3 , 2 ] A = { x R : x 2 = 1 } [ 3 , 2 ] A={x inR:x^(2)=1}uu[-3,2]A = \{x \in \mathbb{R} : x^2 = 1\} \cup [-3, 2]A={xR:x2=1}[3,2] is 0."
First, define the set A A AAA. The condition x 2 = 1 x 2 = 1 x^(2)=1x^2 = 1x2=1 implies x = 1 x = 1 x=1x = 1x=1 or x = 1 x = 1 x=-1x = -1x=1, so { x R : x 2 = 1 } = { 1 , 1 } { x R : x 2 = 1 } = { 1 , 1 } {x inR:x^(2)=1}={-1,1}\{x \in \mathbb{R} : x^2 = 1\} = \{-1, 1\}{xR:x2=1}={1,1}. Then, A = { 1 , 1 } [ 3 , 2 ] A = { 1 , 1 } [ 3 , 2 ] A={-1,1}uu[-3,2]A = \{-1, 1\} \cup [-3, 2]A={1,1}[3,2]. Since { 1 , 1 } { 1 , 1 } {-1,1}\{-1, 1\}{1,1} is a subset of [ 3 , 2 ] [ 3 , 2 ] [-3,2][-3, 2][3,2] (as 1 [ 3 , 2 ] 1 [ 3 , 2 ] -1in[-3,2]-1 \in [-3, 2]1[3,2] and 1 [ 3 , 2 ] 1 [ 3 , 2 ] 1in[-3,2]1 \in [-3, 2]1[3,2]), the union simplifies to A = [ 3 , 2 ] A = [ 3 , 2 ] A=[-3,2]A = [-3, 2]A=[3,2].
Next, compute the outer measure m ( A ) m ( A ) m^(**)(A)m^*(A)m(A). For a bounded interval [ a , b ] [ a , b ] [a,b][a, b][a,b], the Lebesgue outer measure is the length of the interval: m ( [ a , b ] ) = b a m ( [ a , b ] ) = b a m^(**)([a,b])=b-am^*([a, b]) = b – am([a,b])=ba. Here, A = [ 3 , 2 ] A = [ 3 , 2 ] A=[-3,2]A = [-3, 2]A=[3,2], so m ( [ 3 , 2 ] ) = 2 ( 3 ) = 5 m ( [ 3 , 2 ] ) = 2 ( 3 ) = 5 m^(**)([-3,2])=2-(-3)=5m^*([-3, 2]) = 2 – (-3) = 5m([3,2])=2(3)=5.
The statement claims m ( A ) = 0 m ( A ) = 0 m^(**)(A)=0m^*(A) = 0m(A)=0, but we calculated m ( A ) = 5 m ( A ) = 5 m^(**)(A)=5m^*(A) = 5m(A)=5. To confirm, note that outer measure is non-negative and zero only for sets that can be covered by intervals of arbitrarily small total length (e.g., finite or countable sets). The interval [ 3 , 2 ] [ 3 , 2 ] [-3,2][-3, 2][3,2] has length 5 and cannot be covered by intervals of total length less than 5, so m ( A ) 0 m ( A ) 0 m^(**)(A)!=0m^*(A) \neq 0m(A)0.
Thus, the statement is false. Proof: A = [ 3 , 2 ] A = [ 3 , 2 ] A=[-3,2]A = [-3, 2]A=[3,2], and m ( [ 3 , 2 ] ) = 5 > 0 m ( [ 3 , 2 ] ) = 5 > 0 m^(**)([-3,2])=5 > 0m^*([-3, 2]) = 5 > 0m([3,2])=5>0.
b) A finite subset of a metric space is totally bounded.
Let’s evaluate the statement: "A finite subset of a metric space is totally bounded."
In a metric space, a set S S SSS is totally bounded if, for every ϵ > 0 ϵ > 0 epsilon > 0\epsilon > 0ϵ>0, it can be covered by finitely many balls of radius ϵ ϵ epsilon\epsilonϵ. Consider a finite subset S = { x 1 , x 2 , , x n } S = { x 1 , x 2 , , x n } S={x_(1),x_(2),dots,x_(n)}S = \{x_1, x_2, \ldots, x_n\}S={x1,x2,,xn} of a metric space ( X , d ) ( X , d ) (X,d)(X, d)(X,d). For any ϵ > 0 ϵ > 0 epsilon > 0\epsilon > 0ϵ>0, we can cover S S SSS with balls centered at each point: take the collection B ( x 1 , ϵ ) , B ( x 2 , ϵ ) , , B ( x n , ϵ ) B ( x 1 , ϵ ) , B ( x 2 , ϵ ) , , B ( x n , ϵ ) B(x_(1),epsilon),B(x_(2),epsilon),dots,B(x_(n),epsilon)B(x_1, \epsilon), B(x_2, \epsilon), \ldots, B(x_n, \epsilon)B(x1,ϵ),B(x2,ϵ),,B(xn,ϵ). Each point x i B ( x i , ϵ ) x i B ( x i , ϵ ) x_(i)in B(x_(i),epsilon)x_i \in B(x_i, \epsilon)xiB(xi,ϵ) (since d ( x i , x i ) = 0 < ϵ d ( x i , x i ) = 0 < ϵ d(x_(i),x_(i))=0 < epsilond(x_i, x_i) = 0 < \epsilond(xi,xi)=0<ϵ), so S i = 1 n B ( x i , ϵ ) S i = 1 n B ( x i , ϵ ) S subeuuu_(i=1)^(n)B(x_(i),epsilon)S \subseteq \bigcup_{i=1}^n B(x_i, \epsilon)Si=1nB(xi,ϵ). This is a finite cover of S S SSS by ϵ ϵ epsilon\epsilonϵ-balls, satisfying the definition of total boundedness.
Could it be false? In a metric space, a finite set has no limit points beyond itself, and its discrete nature ensures a finite cover always works, regardless of the metric. For example, in R R R\mathbb{R}R with S = { 1 , 2 } S = { 1 , 2 } S={1,2}S = \{1, 2\}S={1,2}, for ϵ = 0.1 ϵ = 0.1 epsilon=0.1\epsilon = 0.1ϵ=0.1, balls B ( 1 , 0.1 ) B ( 1 , 0.1 ) B(1,0.1)B(1, 0.1)B(1,0.1) and B ( 2 , 0.1 ) B ( 2 , 0.1 ) B(2,0.1)B(2, 0.1)B(2,0.1) cover S S SSS.
Thus, the statement is true. Proof: A finite set S = { x 1 , , x n } S = { x 1 , , x n } S={x_(1),dots,x_(n)}S = \{x_1, \ldots, x_n\}S={x1,,xn} can be covered by n n nnn balls of radius ϵ ϵ epsilon\epsilonϵ, one centered at each point, for any ϵ > 0 ϵ > 0 epsilon > 0\epsilon > 0ϵ>0.
c) A connected subspace in a metric space which is not properly contained in any other connected subspace is always open.
Let’s evaluate the statement: "A connected subspace in a metric space which is not properly contained in any other connected subspace is always open."
Consider a metric space ( X , d ) ( X , d ) (X,d)(X, d)(X,d) and a connected subspace S X S X S sube XS \subseteq XSX that is maximal, meaning no connected subspace of X X XXX properly contains S S SSS. We need to determine if S S SSS must be open.
Take X = R X = R X=RX = \mathbb{R}X=R with the standard metric, and let S = [ 0 , 1 ] S = [ 0 , 1 ] S=[0,1]S = [0, 1]S=[0,1]. First, check if S S SSS is connected: the interval [ 0 , 1 ] [ 0 , 1 ] [0,1][0, 1][0,1] is connected in R R R\mathbb{R}R because any disconnection into two nonempty open sets would contradict the intermediate value theorem for continuous functions on [ 0 , 1 ] [ 0 , 1 ] [0,1][0, 1][0,1]. Next, is S S SSS maximal? Suppose T [ 0 , 1 ] T [ 0 , 1 ] T sup[0,1]T \supset [0, 1]T[0,1] is connected and T [ 0 , 1 ] T [ 0 , 1 ] T!=[0,1]T \neq [0, 1]T[0,1]. If T T TTT includes a point x > 1 x > 1 x > 1x > 1x>1, say T = [ 0 , a ] T = [ 0 , a ] T=[0,a]T = [0, a]T=[0,a] with a > 1 a > 1 a > 1a > 1a>1, this is still connected (intervals in R R R\mathbb{R}R are connected). Thus, [ 0 , 1 ] [ 0 , 1 ] [0,1][0, 1][0,1] is not maximal, as [ 0 , 2 ] [ 0 , 2 ] [0,2][0, 2][0,2] is a larger connected set containing it.
Now consider S = R S = R S=RS = \mathbb{R}S=R itself. It’s connected (as a complete metric space with no gaps), and maximal since no proper superset of R R R\mathbb{R}R exists in R R R\mathbb{R}R. But R R R\mathbb{R}R is open in R R R\mathbb{R}R, supporting the statement. However, we need a counterexample where S S SSS is maximal and not open. Try X = R 2 X = R 2 X=R^(2)X = \mathbb{R}^2X=R2 with the Euclidean metric, and S = { ( x , 0 ) : x [ 0 , 1 ] } S = { ( x , 0 ) : x [ 0 , 1 ] } S={(x,0):x in[0,1]}S = \{(x, 0) : x \in [0, 1]\}S={(x,0):x[0,1]}, the closed unit segment on the x-axis. S S SSS is connected (it’s a line segment). Is it maximal? If T S T S T sup ST \supset STS is connected and includes a point off the x-axis, say ( 0 , 1 ) ( 0 , 1 ) (0,1)(0, 1)(0,1), then T T TTT could be a path from ( 0 , 0 ) ( 0 , 0 ) (0,0)(0, 0)(0,0) to ( 0 , 1 ) ( 0 , 1 ) (0,1)(0, 1)(0,1) via ( 1 , 0 ) ( 1 , 0 ) (1,0)(1, 0)(1,0), but adding points like ( 0 , 1 ) ( 0 , 1 ) (0,1)(0, 1)(0,1) often allows disconnection (e.g., separate y = 0 y = 0 y=0y = 0y=0 and y > 0 y > 0 y > 0y > 0y>0). In R 2 R 2 R^(2)\mathbb{R}^2R2, S = [ 0 , 1 ] × { 0 } S = [ 0 , 1 ] × { 0 } S=[0,1]xx{0}S = [0, 1] \times \{0\}S=[0,1]×{0} is not maximal unless restricted, but consider a discrete metric space X = { a , b } X = { a , b } X={a,b}X = \{a, b\}X={a,b} with d ( a , b ) = 1 d ( a , b ) = 1 d(a,b)=1d(a, b) = 1d(a,b)=1, and S = { a } S = { a } S={a}S = \{a\}S={a}. It’s connected (one point), maximal (adding b b bbb disconnects), and not open (open sets are , { a } , { b } , X , { a } , { b } , X O/,{a},{b},X\emptyset, \{a\}, \{b\}, X,{a},{b},X).
A better counterexample: X = [ 0 , 1 ] [ 2 , 3 ] X = [ 0 , 1 ] [ 2 , 3 ] X=[0,1]uu[2,3]X = [0, 1] \cup [2, 3]X=[0,1][2,3] in R R R\mathbb{R}R, and S = [ 0 , 1 ] S = [ 0 , 1 ] S=[0,1]S = [0, 1]S=[0,1]. S S SSS is connected, and adding any point from [ 2 , 3 ] [ 2 , 3 ] [2,3][2, 3][2,3] disconnects the subspace (gap between 1 and 2). Thus, S = [ 0 , 1 ] S = [ 0 , 1 ] S=[0,1]S = [0, 1]S=[0,1] is maximal in X X XXX, but not open in X X XXX (e.g., 1 has no open interval around it fully in S S SSS).
The statement is false. Proof: In X = [ 0 , 1 ] [ 2 , 3 ] X = [ 0 , 1 ] [ 2 , 3 ] X=[0,1]uu[2,3]X = [0, 1] \cup [2, 3]X=[0,1][2,3], S = [ 0 , 1 ] S = [ 0 , 1 ] S=[0,1]S = [0, 1]S=[0,1] is connected, maximal, and not open.
d) The surface given by the equation x + y + z sin ( x y z ) = 0 x + y + z sin ( x y z ) = 0 x+y+z-sin(xyz)=0x+y+z-\sin (x y z)=0x+y+zsin(xyz)=0 can also be described by an equation of the form z = f ( x , y ) z = f ( x , y ) z=f(x,y)z=f(x, y)z=f(x,y) in a neighbourhood of the point ( 0 , 0 ) ( 0 , 0 ) (0,0)(0,0)(0,0).
Let’s evaluate the statement: "The surface given by the equation x + y + z sin ( x y z ) = 0 x + y + z sin ( x y z ) = 0 x+y+z-sin(xyz)=0x + y + z – \sin(xyz) = 0x+y+zsin(xyz)=0 can also be described by an equation of the form z = f ( x , y ) z = f ( x , y ) z=f(x,y)z = f(x, y)z=f(x,y) in a neighborhood of the point ( 0 , 0 ) ( 0 , 0 ) (0,0)(0, 0)(0,0)."
Define the function F ( x , y , z ) = x + y + z sin ( x y z ) F ( x , y , z ) = x + y + z sin ( x y z ) F(x,y,z)=x+y+z-sin(xyz)F(x, y, z) = x + y + z – \sin(xyz)F(x,y,z)=x+y+zsin(xyz). The surface is F ( x , y , z ) = 0 F ( x , y , z ) = 0 F(x,y,z)=0F(x, y, z) = 0F(x,y,z)=0. We need to determine if, near ( 0 , 0 ) ( 0 , 0 ) (0,0)(0, 0)(0,0), this implicitly defines z z zzz as a function of x x xxx and y y yyy, i.e., z = f ( x , y ) z = f ( x , y ) z=f(x,y)z = f(x, y)z=f(x,y). Check the point: at ( 0 , 0 , z ) ( 0 , 0 , z ) (0,0,z)(0, 0, z)(0,0,z), F ( 0 , 0 , z ) = 0 + 0 + z sin ( 0 0 z ) = z = 0 F ( 0 , 0 , z ) = 0 + 0 + z sin ( 0 0 z ) = z = 0 F(0,0,z)=0+0+z-sin(0*0*z)=z=0F(0, 0, z) = 0 + 0 + z – \sin(0 \cdot 0 \cdot z) = z = 0F(0,0,z)=0+0+zsin(00z)=z=0, so ( 0 , 0 , 0 ) ( 0 , 0 , 0 ) (0,0,0)(0, 0, 0)(0,0,0) satisfies the equation.
Use the Implicit Function Theorem: if F = 0 F = 0 F=0F = 0F=0 and F z 0 F z 0 (del F)/(del z)!=0\frac{\partial F}{\partial z} \neq 0Fz0 at ( 0 , 0 , 0 ) ( 0 , 0 , 0 ) (0,0,0)(0, 0, 0)(0,0,0), then z z zzz can be solved as a function of x x xxx and y y yyy locally. Compute the partial derivative:
  • F z = 1 cos ( x y z ) x y F z = 1 cos ( x y z ) x y (del F)/(del z)=1-cos(xyz)*xy\frac{\partial F}{\partial z} = 1 – \cos(xyz) \cdot xyFz=1cos(xyz)xy,
  • At ( 0 , 0 , 0 ) ( 0 , 0 , 0 ) (0,0,0)(0, 0, 0)(0,0,0): F z = 1 cos ( 0 0 0 ) 0 0 = 1 cos ( 0 ) 0 = 1 0 = 1 F z = 1 cos ( 0 0 0 ) 0 0 = 1 cos ( 0 ) 0 = 1 0 = 1 (del F)/(del z)=1-cos(0*0*0)*0*0=1-cos(0)*0=1-0=1\frac{\partial F}{\partial z} = 1 – \cos(0 \cdot 0 \cdot 0) \cdot 0 \cdot 0 = 1 – \cos(0) \cdot 0 = 1 – 0 = 1Fz=1cos(000)00=1cos(0)0=10=1.
Since F z = 1 0 F z = 1 0 (del F)/(del z)=1!=0\frac{\partial F}{\partial z} = 1 \neq 0Fz=10 at ( 0 , 0 , 0 ) ( 0 , 0 , 0 ) (0,0,0)(0, 0, 0)(0,0,0), the theorem applies. Thus, there exists a neighborhood of ( 0 , 0 ) ( 0 , 0 ) (0,0)(0, 0)(0,0) in the x y x y xyxyxy-plane where z = f ( x , y ) z = f ( x , y ) z=f(x,y)z = f(x, y)z=f(x,y) satisfies F ( x , y , f ( x , y ) ) = 0 F ( x , y , f ( x , y ) ) = 0 F(x,y,f(x,y))=0F(x, y, f(x, y)) = 0F(x,y,f(x,y))=0.
The statement is true. Proof: By the Implicit Function Theorem, since F z = 1 0 F z = 1 0 (del F)/(del z)=1!=0\frac{\partial F}{\partial z} = 1 \neq 0Fz=10 at ( 0 , 0 , 0 ) ( 0 , 0 , 0 ) (0,0,0)(0, 0, 0)(0,0,0), z = f ( x , y ) z = f ( x , y ) z=f(x,y)z = f(x, y)z=f(x,y) exists locally near ( 0 , 0 ) ( 0 , 0 ) (0,0)(0, 0)(0,0).
e) A real valued function f f fff on [ a , b ] [ a , b ] [a,b][a, b][a,b] is continuous if it is integrable on [ a , b ] [ a , b ] [a,b][a, b][a,b].
Let’s evaluate the statement: "A real-valued function f f fff on [ a , b ] [ a , b ] [a,b][a, b][a,b] is continuous if it is integrable on [ a , b ] [ a , b ] [a,b][a, b][a,b]."
The statement suggests that integrability (typically Riemann integrability, unless specified otherwise) implies continuity. Consider f f fff on [ 0 , 1 ] [ 0 , 1 ] [0,1][0, 1][0,1] defined as f ( x ) = 0 f ( x ) = 0 f(x)=0f(x) = 0f(x)=0 if x x xxx is irrational and f ( x ) = 1 f ( x ) = 1 f(x)=1f(x) = 1f(x)=1 if x x xxx is rational. This is a classic example:
  • Integrability: The set of discontinuities is Q [ 0 , 1 ] Q [ 0 , 1 ] Qnn[0,1]\mathbb{Q} \cap [0, 1]Q[0,1], which has Lebesgue measure zero (rationals are countable). A bounded function on [ a , b ] [ a , b ] [a,b][a, b][a,b] is Riemann integrable if its discontinuities have measure zero, so f f fff is integrable, with 0 1 f ( x ) d x = 0 0 1 f ( x ) d x = 0 int_(0)^(1)f(x)dx=0\int_0^1 f(x) \, dx = 001f(x)dx=0 (since irrationals are dense and f = 0 f = 0 f=0f = 0f=0 there).
  • Continuity: At every x [ 0 , 1 ] x [ 0 , 1 ] x in[0,1]x \in [0, 1]x[0,1], f f fff is discontinuous because rationals and irrationals are dense: for any x x xxx, there are nearby points where f = 1 f = 1 f=1f = 1f=1 and others where f = 0 f = 0 f=0f = 0f=0, so lim y x f ( y ) lim y x f ( y ) lim_(y rarr x)f(y)\lim_{y \to x} f(y)limyxf(y) doesn’t exist.
Since f f fff is integrable but not continuous, the implication fails.
The statement is false. Proof: The function f ( x ) = 1 f ( x ) = 1 f(x)=1f(x) = 1f(x)=1 if x x xxx is rational, 0 0 000 if irrational, on [ 0 , 1 ] [ 0 , 1 ] [0,1][0, 1][0,1] is integrable (discontinuities have measure zero) but discontinuous everywhere.
