(a) Let f:[1,∞)→C be defined by f(t)=t−1e2πit and let X be the image of f. Prove that X∪{0} is compact and path-connected. [Hint: you may find it helpful to set s=t−1.]
(b) Let g:[1,∞)→C be defined by g(t)=(1+t−1)e2πit, let Y be the image of g and let Dˉ be the closed unit disc{z∈C:∣z∣≤1}. Prove that Y∪Dˉ is connected. Explain briefly why it is not path-connected.
