Theorem
Let $T = \struct {S, \tau}$ be a topological space.
Let $x \in S$.
Then the singleton $\set{x}$ is connected.
Proof
Let $A = \set{x}$.
From definition $3$ of a connected set, $A$ is connected in $T$ if and only if the subspace $\struct {A, \tau_A}$ is a connected space.
From Topology on Singleton is Indiscrete Topology, $\tau_A$ is the indiscrete topology.
From Indiscrete Space is Connected, $\struct {A, \tau_A}$ is a connected space.
