Similarly is also in the Cantor Set, In Step 2 I is not removed when we removed the open intervals ( ) and (*,*).
All the endpoints thatare created in each step be in
must the final Cantor set. I becomes an endpoint in Step 1, and
from there itwill never be removed since it is in
not the middle of an interval
anymore.

At step 3 we removed four open intervals of length tzeach. In general, atstep n, we remove an open intervals,

Referring to 12.2, this is a Geometric Series as itis the ratio of a rationalfunction of the summation index. We can calculate
