Consider the sphere S2={(x,y,z)∈R3∣x2+y2+z2=1}, a subset of R3, as a subspace of R3 with the Euclidean metric.
(i) Show that S2 is compact and Hausdorff as a topological space.
(ii) Let X=S2/∼ be the quotient set with respect to the equivalence relation identifying the antipodes, i.e.
(x,y,z)∼(x′,y′,z′)⟺(x′,y′,z′)=(x,y,z) or (−x,−y,−z)
Show that X is compact and Hausdorff with respect to the quotient topology.
