Compactness implies countably compactness

53 Views Asked by At

Let X be compact. Then X is countably compact.
My thinking is like this: Let X be a topological space. Since compact, then every open cover hava a finite subcover. Hence it is true for countable open cover.
Is this proof true?

You are exactly correct.

In particular, countable compactness follows from compactness because every countable open cover is an open cover.
