A Totally Bounded Metric Space is Separable

Statement

Let (X,d)(X,d) be a metric space and let Td\mathcal{T}_d be the collection of subsets of XX that are open in (X,d)(X,d), a topology on XX by Metric Open Sets Form a Topology.

Then the following hold.

1. (Separability.) If XX is totally bounded in (X,d)(X,d), then there is a countable subset D⊆XD\subseteq X that is dense in XX for Td\mathcal{T}_d; that is, (X,d)(X,d) is separable.

2. (Compact and sequentially compact spaces.) If XX is compact in (X,Td)(X,\mathcal{T}_d), or sequentially compact in (X,d)(X,d), then XX is totally bounded in (X,d)(X,d), and consequently (X,d)(X,d) is separable.
