Mathematics Asked on December 6, 2021
$X={(x,y) in mathbb{R^2}: x^2+y^2=1 }$ and $Y={(x,y) in mathbb{R^2}: x^2+y^2=1 } cup {(x,y) in mathbb{R^2}: (x-2)^2+y^2=1 } $ be the subspaces of $mathbb{R}^2$
Now my question is that
Is $X$ is homeomorphics to $Y$ ?
My attempt : Yes
Both $X$and $Y$ are connected and compact
Now by using the theorem connected subspaces of connected sets is connected
So $X$ is homeomorphics to $Y$
Is its true ?
No. The set $X$ is a circle. It is connected and it remains connected if you remove any point from it.
But $Y$ is the union of two circles, with a common point, which is $(1,0)$. If you remove that point from $Y$, what you get is disconnected.
So, $X$ and $Y$ are not homeomorphic.
