∀i = 1, 2, .... Prove that the limit of (xi ) is a point in T .

Problem 2

Prove that the intersection of two closed sets is closed. (Note: the empty set is
trivially closed.)

Problem 3.

Consider the set [a, b] × [c, d] in R2 , where

[a, b] × [c, d] := {(x1 , x2 ) ∈ R2 : a ≤ x1 ≤ b, c ≤ x2 ≤ d}.

Prove that [a, b] × [c, d] is closed.

0 if x = 0
limit at the point x = 0.

Problem 5
