Click For Summary

Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around a problem in metric spaces, specifically focusing on the relationship between open sets and intersections with subsets. The original poster is attempting to demonstrate a condition involving the openness of set A and its intersection with the closure of set B.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Conceptual clarification, Mathematical reasoning

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • The original poster attempts to use a proof by contradiction to explore the implications of A being open and its intersection with the closure of B. Some participants question the completeness of the original statement and suggest clarifying definitions related to open sets and limit points.

Discussion Status

The discussion is ongoing, with participants exploring definitions and properties related to open sets and limit points. There is an indication that some guidance has been offered regarding the definitions needed to approach the proof.

Contextual Notes

There appears to be some missing information in the original statement, as noted by participants. The definitions of open sets and limit points are under discussion, which may influence the direction of the proof.

Let (X,d) be a metric space A and B nonempty subsets of X and A is open. Show:
A[tex]\cap[/tex]B = [tex]\oslash[/tex] Iff A[tex]\cap[/tex]B(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)[tex]\subseteq[/tex]A[tex]\cap[/tex]B(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 [tex]\cap[/tex] 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.
