Find and proof an open cover of $(0, 1)$ that has no finite subcover.

I need to find an example and also proof the example.

Thank you.

$(0,1)=\cup_{n=1}^{\infty}(\frac{1}{n},1-\frac{1}{n})$ is an open cover but has no finite subcover

    To modify this interval to (1,2), would you just add 1 to each of those terms? e.g. (1+$1 \over n$, 2 - $1 \over n$)?2013-09-24
