| ``a stupid question''

| I don't understand this part:
"Then $\gamma([0,c])$ contains only a single point on the Y axis, while $\overline{\gamma([0,c])}$ contains all of $X_1$. So $\gamma([0,c])$ is not compact..."
first, if $\gamma([0,c])$ contains a single point on the Y axis, how could its complement contain all of X_1? Second, even if it did, why does that mean that it is not compact? Sorry for being dense. |
