Homework Statement



Suppose that each of A and B is a set such that:
(a) A is a subset of [0,1], B is a subset of [0,1]
(b) Neither of A or B is empty
(c) 0 (zero) is an element of A
(d) The union of A & B = [0,1]
(e) A & B are disjoint
(f) A contains no limit points of B.

Then, B contains a limit point of A.

If [tex]A[/tex] contains no limit point of [tex]B[/tex], then what kind of points does [tex]A[/tex] consist of? (What must [tex]A[/tex] look like near [tex]0[/tex]? How far from [tex]0[/tex] can you "push" this appearance?)
