Exist a norm such that $S= {x= (x_{1},x_{2}) in R^{2}| |x| leq 1, x_{2} >0}$ which isn't open nor closed?

Let $X = R^{2}$ and $|.|$ a norm in X:



Show that exist a norm such that $S= {x= (x_{1},x_{2}) in R^{2}| |x| leq 1, x_{2} >0}$ it is not open or closed.



How can I show this?



Any help?

    @CalvinKhor thanks for your attention. I can show that for $||x|| leq 1$ in $R$ it is not open and closed. But it left me confused when the set is on $R^{2}$.

    I see, sorry. Perhaps as a warm-up you can show that ${ x in mathbb R : |x|le 1 , x>0}$ is neither open or closed. And then just try to do the original question with your favourite norm on $mathbb R^2$.

This is somewhat of a trick question: For every norm $|cdot|$ on $Bbb R^2$, the set
$$S={,x=(x_1,x_2)inBbb R^2mid|x|le 1,x_2>0,} $$
is neither open nor closed (under the topology induced by the norm).



In order to see that $S$ is not open, note that $(0,1)ne(0,0)$ implies $|(0,1)|>0$, hence for $a:=(0,frac1{|(0,1)|})$, we have $|a|=1$. For all $epsilon>0$, the open ball ${,xinBbb R^2mid|x-a|<epsilon,}$ fails to be a subset of $S$ because for $x:=(1+fracepsilon2)a$ we check that $|x-a|=|fracepsilon2a|=fracepsilon2<epsilon$ and $|x|=1+fracepsilon2>1$.



In order to see that $S$ is not closed, i.e., that the complement of $S$ is not open, note that $(0,0)notin S$, but every open ball ${,xinBbb R^2mid |x|<epsilon,}$, $epsilon>0$, intersects $S$. Indeed, we only need to look at $fracepsilon2a$ with $a$ as defined above.
