Exercise · ZW-COMPACT-SETS-IN-HAUSDORFF-SPACES-008 · ★★☆ Intermediate
Let \(K_1,K_2\) be compact sets in a Hausdorff space. Then \(K_1\cap K_2\) is:
Choose one option.
Show answer
- D. compact
Explanation
\(K_1\) is closed in \(X\), so \(K_1\cap K_2\) is closed in the compact set \(K_2\), and a closed subset of a compact set is compact.
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.
\[K\subseteq X\ \text{compact},\ X\ \text{Hausdorff}\ \Rightarrow\ \overline{K}=K\]
