Exercise · ZW-INTERIOR-OF-A-SET-002 · ★☆☆ Basic

In \(X=\{1,2,3\}\) with \(\mathcal{T}=\{\varnothing,\{1\},\{1,2\},\{1,2,3\}\}\), what is the interior of \(A=\{2,3\}\)?

Choose one option.

Show answer
  • D. \(\varnothing\)

Explanation

No nonempty open set fits inside \(\{2,3\}\) (all of them contain \(1\)), so the interior is \(\varnothing\).

Review the concept: Interior of a set

The interior \(\operatorname{int}A\) of a subset \(A\) of a topological space \((X,\mathcal{T})\) is the largest open set \(U\in\mathcal{T}\) contained in \(A\).

\[\operatorname{int}A=\bigcup\{U\in\mathcal{T}:\ U\subseteq A\}\]
