Homework Statement
Let A be a topological space and let A[itex]\subseteq[/itex]X be any subset.
Show: If a point A is in the interior, then it has a neighborhood contained in A.
Homework Equations
Neighborhoods are defined to be open in my book.
Int(A) = [itex]\bigcup[/itex]{C[itex]\subseteq[/itex]A and C is open in X}
The Attempt at a Solution
Let p[itex]\in[/itex]Int(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}
So, [itex]\exists[/itex] an open set C' s.t. p[itex]\in[/itex]C' and C[itex]\subseteq[/itex]A
