Let A={(x,y),x>0,y>0} and U_x={(u,v):(u-x)^2+(v-x)^2<=x^2, x is a rational number}. So U_x is the set of an open disk with center (x,x) and radius x.
I want to show that {U_x} is a countable covering of A.
First, {U_x} is a countable number of sets. Because the rational numbers is countable and each nonnegative rational ...
