Which of the following spaces is Hausdorff?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@zzr0ck3r

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The discrete space

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The indiscrete space

OpenStudy (anonymous):

R with the finite complement topology

OpenStudy (anonymous):

X = [a,b] endowed with the topology \[\tau \] = (\[ϕ \],X,[a])

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

ok, a space is Hausdorff if for any two elements, there is an open nbhd around each that does not intersect each other. If every set is open, what do we call this space?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

discrete topology

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@zzr0ck3r

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A set is nowhere dense if the set \[barA \] has empty

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think interior ????????????????

@zzr0ck3r

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

Sorry, I was helping someone before you texted me and I did not think it would take this long.

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

wait, are you asking another question now?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think the answer to the first question is the discrete space

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

it is not

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

why do you think that?

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

dont just move on....answer me :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because discrete topology is one that has every set open

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so sorry if i am wrong

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

oh sorry, I thought you asked for the non Hausdorff one...you are correct. But let us not move on...

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

why does every set being open mean that it is Hausdorff?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thank you sir . a big hug

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because there intersection will give the empty set

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

what intersection?

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

who is they?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a space is Hausdorff if for any two elements, there is an open nbhd around each that does not intersect each other

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that was what you said

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

but you did not show me the sets. Here is the proof, and this is what I am looking for. Suppose \(x_0, x_1\in X\). Then \(\{x_0\}\) and \(\{x_1\}\) are both open sets, and \(\{x_0\}\cap\{x_1\}=\emptyset\).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok. thank you sir
