Exercise · ZW-INTERIOR-OF-A-SET-005 · ★★☆ Intermediate

In \(X=\{a,b,c\}\) with \(\mathcal{T}=\{\varnothing,\{a,b,c\}\}\), what is the interior of \(A=\{a,b\}\)?

Choose one option.

Show answer
  • D. \(\varnothing\)

Explanation

In the trivial topology the only open sets are \(\varnothing\) and \(X\), and \(X\not\subseteq A\); 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 \(A\).

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