About This Quiz
Identifying Disconnected Sets Quiz - Quiz

Think you can spot disconnected sets at a glance? This quiz challenges you to identify which subsets of ℝ and ℝ² split into separate parts. You’ll evaluate unions of intervals, sets with gaps, discrete sets, and separated geometric structures. You’ll also explore how removing points affects connectedness, and learn when... see moresets remain in one piece despite unusual shapes. By the end, you’ll confidently classify sets as connected or disconnected using their structural and topological properties. see less

2) {0} ∪ [1,2] in ℝ is:

Explanation

There is a gap between {0} and [1,2] → disconnected.

Submit
3) Which of the following sets in ℝ is connected?

Explanation

(0,3) is a single interval; others have gaps.

Submit
4) Set X = {x ∈ ℝ : x² ≥1 or x² ≤0} is:

Explanation

X = (−∞,−1] ∪ {0} ∪ [1,∞) → multiple separated pieces.

Submit
5) Which is a disconnected subset of ℝ?

Explanation

{1/n} is scattered → disconnected.

Submit
6) A = {x <0 or x>1} is:

Explanation

A = (−∞,0) ∪ (1,∞).

Submit
7) Which is disconnected in ℝ²?

Explanation

Two disjoint horizontal lines → disconnected.

Submit
8) Identify all disconnected sets:

Explanation

{1,2} isolated; (1,2) ∪ (3,4) gap.

Submit
9) Which ℝ sets are disconnected?

Explanation

Finite>1 points and separated intervals.

Submit
10) Which statements about disconnected sets are correct?

Explanation

A true, C true; others false.

Submit
11) Disconnected in ℝ²:

Explanation

Two separate pieces.

Submit
12) Which sets are disconnected in ℝ?

Explanation

Isolated points and gap intervals.

Submit
13) Which sets are disconnected?

Explanation

ℤ is discrete; union intervals gap.

Submit
14) Disconnected in ℝ²:

Explanation

Two lines separate; rest connected.

Submit
