(a)Let K={1/n ∈ R| n∈Z+} Show that the standard topology on K is the discrete topology.
(b) Let K*=K union {0}. Show that the standard topology on K* is not the discrete topology.
A) take a point in K, find a neighborhood about it which does not intersect anything else in K. let, consider
and let
B) Try to find an open neighborhood about 0 that doesn't intersect K... Good luck, as the limit as n goes to infinity of the harmonic (1/n) is 0, so it is a limit point.
