Homework Equations

The Attempt at a Solution

i just don't know how to do any of them

Your first two aren't even statements. Aren't you supposed have an = sign or something? So we'll pass on those. And it's pretty weak to say "no idea on ANY of them". Try iii). Suppose A=[0,1] and B=[1,2]. Conclusion? Try to find a counterexample first. If you can't find a counterexample, then try to prove it. Some of those are not all that hard.

my mistake
for the first one i meant to say write

the closure (interior A) is a proper subset of the interior (closure A)

i took A = [1,2]

then the right side would equal [1,2] and the left would be (1,2).

therefore

the (closure (interior A)) is not a proper subset of the (interior (closure A)), right?

That's the idea. Just remember if it had come out to be true, that doesn't prove it's true in all cases.
