Q. Determine the qualities of the given set. (Select all that apply.)\newline{(x,y)9<x2+y2<25} \left\{(x, y) \mid 9<x^{2}+y^{2}<25\right\} \newline\square open\newline \square connected\newline\square simply-connected\newline\square none of the above
  1. Identify Nature of Set: Identify the nature of the set based on the inequality 9<x2+y2<259 < x^2 + y^2 < 25. This inequality describes a region between two circles centered at the origin with radii 33 and 55, respectively. The area is not inclusive of the boundaries since it's strictly greater than 99 and less than 2525.
  2. Determine Openness: Determine if the set is open.\newlineSince the set does not include the boundary points (x2+y2=9(x^2 + y^2 = 9 or x2+y2=25)x^2 + y^2 = 25), it is open.
  3. Check for Connectivity: Check if the set is connected.\newlineThe area between two concentric circles is a single unbroken region, hence it is connected.
  4. Assess Simply-Connected: Assess if the set is simply-connected.\newlineA set is simply-connected if every loop in the set can be continuously contracted to a point within the set. The annular region between two circles is not simply-connected because a loop around the inner circle cannot be contracted to a point without leaving the set.
