Dear all,

How can I show that:

The boundary of a set S is equal to the intersection of the closure and the closure of the complement of S ?

Thanks a lot in advance

Can you give us the definition of "closure" and "boundary"?

(That's not just because I want to force you to use the Homework questions template, but in different domains of mathematics there are different definitions of those concepts, so it's important to know which ones you are using).

The definitions are in the following images. I tried to do it by the definitions or by the Boundary=Closure\Interior but I couldn't.

Any help would be highly appreciated
 
There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
