Homework Statement
If p has a neighborhood contained in A, then p is in the interior of A.
Homework Equations
Int A = [itex]\bigcup[/itex]{C[itex]\subseteq[/itex]X:C[itex]\subseteq[/itex]A and C is open in X}
By the books definition, a neighborhood is open.
The Attempt at a Solution
Let C'[itex]\subseteq[/itex]A be a neighborhood of p contained in A
Then p[itex]\in[/itex][itex]\bigcup[/itex]{C[itex]\subseteq[/itex]X:C[itex]\subseteq[/itex]A and C is open in X}
p[itex]\in[/itex]Int A
Seems too simple, but I'm going through the book's definition of "neighborhood of p"--and open subset of X.
