Is Metric Space Compact?

Metric spaces
(X, d) is sequentially compact; that is, every sequence in X has a convergent subsequence whose limit is in X (this is also equivalent to compactness for first-countable uniform spaces).

Are compact subset of a metric space is?

Theorem Each compact set K in a metric space is closed and bounded. Proposition Each closed subset of a compact set is also compact. Theorem (Heine-Borel Theorem from last term) Each closed and bounded interval [a,b] is a compact subset of the real numbers.

How do you prove that a metric space is compact?

Uα = X. Proposition 2.1 A metric space X is compact if and only if every collection F of closed sets in X with the finite intersection property has a nonempty intersection. points in X has a convergent subsequence.
