Carefully and rigorously prove the following.
Let X be a metric space. Show X is compact if and only if every sequence contains a convergent subse- quence. Hint for (): Argue by contradiction. If there was a sequence with no convergent subsequence, use that sequence to construct an open cover of X, such that every set in the cover contains only a finite number of elements of the sequence. Then use compactness to get a contradiction. Hint for (): Let...
