Exercise · ZW-COMPACT-SETS-IN-HAUSDORFF-SPACES-004 · ★☆☆ Basic
A Hausdorff space has exactly three points. How many of its subsets are compact?
Choose one option.
Show answer
- C. \(8\)
Explanation
A finite Hausdorff space is discrete, and all its \(2^3=8\) subsets are finite, hence compact (and closed).
Review the concept: Compact sets in Hausdorff spaces
Every compact subset \(K\) of a Hausdorff space \(X\) is closed in \(X\), and every closed subset of a compact space is compact.
\[K\subseteq X\ \text{compact},\ X\ \text{Hausdorff}\ \Rightarrow\ \overline{K}=K\]
