Next, we prove that A ⊆ cl(A). Let a be a member in A. Thus each open neighborhood of a intersects A, and hence a ∈ cl(A). Finally, we demonstrate that cl(A) is the smallest closed set containing A. Let F be a closed set containing A. We have to demonstrate that cl(A) ⊆ F. Let x be a element in cl(A). Suppose x ∉ F. Then x ∈ X F, which is open. This implies that there exists an open neighborhood U of x such that U ⊆ X F. But then U ∩ A = ∅, which contradicts the truth that x ∈ cl(A). Therefore, x ∈ F, and cl(A) ⊆ F. Problem 2.4.1 Let X be a topological space and let Aα be a collection of subsets of X. Show that ∪α cl(Aα) ⊆ cl(∪α Aα). Solution Let x be a member in ∪α cl(Aα). Then there exists α such that x ∈ cl(Aα). Let U be an open neighborhood of x. Then U ∩ Aα ≠∅, and hence U ∩ ∪α Aα ≠∅. This implies that x ∈ cl(∪α Aα). Problem 3.2.1 Let X be a topological space and let A be a subset of X. Show that A is open if and only if A ∩ cl(X A) = ∅. Solution Suppose A is open. Then A ∩ (X A) = ∅, and hence A ∩ cl(X A) = ∅.

Next, we establish that A ⊆ cl(A). Let a be a element in A. Then each open neighborhood of a intersects A, and so a ∈ cl(A). Finally, we establish that cl(A) is the minimal closed set enclosing A. Let F be a closed set containing A. We need to demonstrate that cl(A) ⊆ F. Let x be a member in cl(A). Suppose x ∉ F. Then x ∈ X F, which is open. This implies that there exists an open neighborhood U of x such that U ⊆ X F. But then U ∩ A = ∅, which contradicts the truth that x ∈ cl(A). Thus, x ∈ F, and cl(A) ⊆ F. Problem 2.4.1 Let X be a topological space and let Aα be a set of subsets of X. Prove that ∪α cl(Aα) ⊆ cl(∪α Aα). Solution Let x be a entity in ∪α cl(Aα). Then there exists α such that x ∈ cl(Aα). Let U be an open neighborhood of x. Then U ∩ Aα ≠∅, and so U ∩ ∪α Aα ≠∅. This suggests that x ∈ cl(∪α Aα). Problem 3.2.1 Let X be a topological space and let A be a subset of X. Demonstrate that A is open if and only if A ∩ cl(X A) = ∅. Solution Presume A is open. Then A ∩ (X A) = ∅, and so A ∩ cl(X A) = ∅. Topological area Next, we prove that A ⊆ cl(A)
