Exercise · ZW-NEIGHBORHOOD-003 · ★☆☆ Basic

In \(X=\{1,2,3\}\) with \(\mathcal{T}=\{\varnothing,\{1\},\{1,2\},\{1,2,3\}\}\), how many neighborhoods does the point \(3\) have?

Choose one option.

Show answer
  • D. 1

Explanation

The only open set containing \(3\) is \(X\), so the only neighborhood is \(X\) itself.

Review the concept: Neighborhood of a point

A neighborhood of a point \(x\) in a topological space \((X,\mathcal{T})\) is a set \(N\subseteq X\) that contains some open set \(U\in\mathcal{T}\) to which \(x\) belongs.

\[N\ \text{neighborhood of }x\iff \exists\,U\in\mathcal{T}:\ x\in U\subseteq N\]
