Math Problem Statement
Let S be the subset of R. For n>=1, let A_(n)=[(1)/(2n+1),(1)/(2n)] and S=\cup u_(n)=1^(\infty )A_(n). Find the following: \int (S),ext(S),R\S,bd(S),S^('), the isolated points of S, and cl(S).
Solution
Given that is defined as a subset of , let's break down the set and calculate the required properties.
Problem Setup
For , let:
The set is defined as:
This means that is the union of the intervals .
1. The Interior of ,
The interior of a set is the largest open set contained within . Each is a closed interval, and since these intervals are disjoint, there is no open set contained entirely within . Therefore, the interior of is empty:
2. The Exterior of ,
The exterior of consists of all points that are not in the closure of . Since is made up of closed intervals that are isolated from each other, the exterior of is everything in except the points in these intervals:
3. The Complement of ,
The complement of is the set of all points in that are not in . Since consists of a union of closed intervals, the complement will consist of all the points outside these intervals. This can be written as:
4. The Boundary of ,
The boundary of a set is the set of points that can be approached both from within the set and from outside the set. For each interval , the boundary consists of the two endpoints and . Therefore, the boundary of is:
5. The Derived Set
The derived set consists of the limit points of . A limit point of is a point where every neighborhood around that point contains at least one point of distinct from the point itself. In this case, each interval consists of isolated points, meaning there are no accumulation points. Therefore, the derived set is empty:
6. The Isolated Points of
The isolated points of are those points in that do not have any other points of arbitrarily close to them. Since consists of disjoint intervals, every point in is isolated. Therefore, the set of isolated points of is:
7. The Closure of ,
The closure of is the smallest closed set containing , which consists of all the points in together with the limit points of . Since there are no limit points, the closure of is simply itself:
Summary of Results:

- Exterior of :
- Complement of :
- Boundary of : [ \text{bd}(S) = \
