Assignment Help Mathematics
Reference no: EM13124328

We have defined space X to be contractible in two ways:

Definition 1: X is contractible if it is homotopy equivalent to a point; and

Definition 2: X is contractible if the identity map of X is null-homotopic.

Show that these two definitions are equivalent.
