help! 'set' question

Give an example in the set notation of a CLOSED set S in R^2 such that the closure of int S is not equal to S.

I originally used the set

s={ (x,y) : 0 <x^2+y^2<1}
but I just noticed it's not closed set!
...

can anyone give me an example?

Thanks!

No, but I can suggest something to try: if S is a finite set of points, what is its interior? What is the closure of that?
 

Thread 'Finding the nth roots of a complex number'

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...
