Let (X,d) be a metric space A and B nonempty subsets of X and A is open. Show:
A\capB = \oslash Iff A\capB(closure)= empty
Only B closure
it is easy to show rigth to left but how can i use A's open property I try to solve with contradiction s.t. there exist r>0 Br(p)\subseteqA\capB(closure) but i cannot come conlusion. Can you help me please ? :(

Umm... I think you're missing part of the iff statement
 
yeah sorry i forget to write empty
 
Are you able to show that A \cap B' is empty (where B' is the set of limit points for B)? What is the definition of A being open (use the neighborhood definition)? What is the requirement that a point be an element of B' (use the deleted neighborhood definition)?

Using these definitions, you can work a proof by contradiction.
 
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...
