2. (a) Give an ε − δ definition for the statement: “A function f is not continuous at x = c”.
(b) Determine the points at which the function f : (0, 1) ∪ N :→ R defined by
0 if x is irrational,
f (x) =
1/n if x = m , and gcd(m, n) = 1
n
is continuous. [1+3]
3. Prove that a subset of a metric space is open if and only if it is a union of open balls. Is every
closed subset of a metric space is a union of closed balls? Justify! [3+1]
4. Let B[0, 1] be the set of all real valued bounded functions over [0, 1]. Show that (B[0, 1], d∞ ) is a
metric space, where
d∞ ( f , g) = sup {| f (t) − g(t)|} ∀ f , g ∈ B[0, 1].
