Exercise · ZW-BOUNDARY-OF-A-SET-001 · ★☆☆ Basic
In \(X=\{1,2,3\}\) with \(\mathcal{T}=\{\varnothing,\{1\},\{1,2\},\{1,2,3\}\}\), what is the boundary of \(\{1,3\}\)?
Choose one option.
Show answer
- B. \(\{2,3\}\)
Explanation
The closure is \(\{1,2,3\}\) and the interior is \(\{1\}\); the boundary is their difference, \(\{2,3\}\).
Review the concept: Boundary of a set
The boundary \(\partial A\) of a subset \(A\) of a topological space \(X\) is the set of points of the closure of \(A\) that do not belong to its interior.
\[\partial A=\overline{A}\setminus\operatorname{int}A\]
