Consider [-4,4] ... what do you think the answer should be? What is the definition of "open"? Does this set meet that definition?

What does this mean: "{-π,π}⊆u"? What is "π"? Does this simply mean that U is in the topology if and only if any time x is in U, -x is also? In that case, these questions are close to trivial!

FAQ: Ans: Is [-4.4] & (-3,3) open/closed in (ℝ,τ)? Justify your answer

Is [-4.4] a part of the set (ℝ,τ)?

No, [-4.4] is not a part of the set (ℝ,τ) as it is a single point and not an interval.

Is (-3,3) a part of the set (ℝ,τ)?

Yes, (-3,3) is a part of the set (ℝ,τ) as it is an open interval that includes all real numbers between -3 and 3.

Is the set (ℝ,τ) open or closed?

The set (ℝ,τ) is open as it contains only open intervals and does not include the endpoints.

Is [-4.4] open or closed in (ℝ,τ)?

[-4.4] is neither open nor closed in (ℝ,τ) as it is a single point and not an interval.

Is (-3,3) open or closed in (ℝ,τ)?

(-3,3) is open in (ℝ,τ) as it does not include the endpoints -3 and 3.
