Work Step by Step

(a) We have the domain: $D = \left\{ {\left( {x,y} \right) \in {\mathbb{R}^2}:{x^2} + {y^2} \leqslant 1} \right\}$ We can choose $M=2$ such that $D$ is contained in a disk of radius $M$ centered at the origin. Therefore, $D$ is bounded. Notice that the boundary points of $D$ are on the circle of radius $1$. Since $D$ contains all its boundary points, it is closed. Hence, $D$ is closed and bounded. (b) We have the domain: $D = \left\{ {\left( {x,y} \right) \in {\mathbb{R}^2}:{x^2} + {y^2} < 1} \right\}$ We can choose $M=1$ such that $D$ is contained in a disk of radius $1$ centered at the origin. Therefore, $D$ is bounded. Notice that every point of $D$ is an interior point, therefore it is open. (c) We have the domain: $D = \left\{ {\left( {x,y} \right) \in {\mathbb{R}^2}:x \geqslant 0} \right\}$ Since $x \ge 0$, we can always choose a number $x$ such that $D$ contains point arbitrarily far from the origin. Therefore, $D$ is unbounded. Notice that the boundary points of $D$ is $\left( {0,y} \right)$ for $y \in \mathbb{R}$. Since $D$ contains all its boundary points, it is closed. (d) We have the domain: $D = \left\{ {\left( {x,y} \right) \in {\mathbb{R}^2}:x > 0,y > 0} \right\}$ Since $x>0$ and $y>0$, we can always choose a number $x$ and $y$ such that $D$ contains point arbitrarily far from the origin. Therefore, $D$ is unbounded. Notice that every point of $D$ is an interior point, therefore it is open. (e) We have the domain: $D = \left\{ {\left( {x,y} \right) \in {\mathbb{R}^2}:1 \leqslant x \leqslant 4,{\ \ }5 \leqslant y \leqslant 10} \right\}$ We can choose $M=12$ such that $D$ is contained in a disk of radius $M$ centered at the origin. Therefore, $D$ is bounded. Notice that the boundary points of $D$ are on the rectangular with sides $1 \le x \le 4$ and $5 \le y \le 10$. Since $D$ contains all its boundary points, it is closed. (f) We have the domain: $D = \left\{ {\left( {x,y} \right) \in {\mathbb{R}^2}:x > 0,{x^2} + {y^2} \leqslant 10} \right\}$ We can choose $M=11$ such that $D$ is contained in a disk of radius $M$ centered at the origin. Therefore, $D$ is bounded. Notice that the boundary points of $D$ are on the half-circle of radius $10$ for $x>0$. However, there are boundary points at $x=0$ not contained in $D$. Since $D$ does not contain all its boundary points, it is not closed.
