How do I show 6.3? Could you explain it in detail?

Theorem 6.3. If X is a compact space, then every infinite subset of X has a limit point.
{Ca}aea be a collection of subsets of X.
Cg. The collection C is an open cover
Definition. Let A be a subset of X and let C =
Then C is a cover of A if and only if A C Ugea
of A if and only if C is a cover of A and each Ca is open. A subcover C' of a cover C of
A is a subcollection of C whose elements form a cover of A.
For instance, the open sets {(-n,n)}nen form an open cover of R. A subcover of
this cover is {(-n,n)}n>5, because these sets still cover all of R.
Definition. A space X is compact if and only if every open cover of X has a finite
subcover.
