Hello!
Find the interior of each set.
a.) {1/n : n[tex]\in[/tex]N}
b.) [0,3][tex]\cup[/tex](3,5)
c.) {r[tex]\in[/tex]Q:0<r<[tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex]}
d.) [0,2][tex]\cap[/tex][2,4]
I understand that b.)'s interior points are (0,5). I don't understand why the rest have int = empty set.
By definition, if there exist a neighborhood N of x such that N[tex]\subseteq[/tex]S, then x is an interior point of S. So for part d.), any points between 0 and 2 are, if I understand correctly, interior points. But the solution says that part d.)'s set of interior points is an empty set. Why is this?
Thank you
