Homework Statement



1. Let A= {a,b,c}. Calculate the subspace topology on A induced by the topology

T= { empty set, X,{a},{c,d},{b,c,e},{a,c,d},{a,b,c,e},{b,c,d,e},{c}, {a,c}} on X={a,b,c,d,e}.

Homework Equations



Given a topological space (X, T) and a subset S of X, the subspace topology on S is defined by

Ts= {S\bigcapU s.t. U\inT}

The Attempt at a Solution



Would it just be Ta = { emptyset, {a}, {c}, {b,c}, {a,c}, {a,b,c}, {b,c} }?

Seems ok to me.
 
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...
