Let φ : R −→ R be a continuous function and X a subset of R with closure X' such that φ(x) = 1 for any x ∈ X. Prove that φ(x) = 1 for all x ∈ X.'
Let be a continuous function
and with closure such that
.
Prove that :
Solution :
with closure
Therefore every point of is a point of closure of .
So by definition of point of closure
if , then there exists a sequence of points in such that .
we have to prove that .
So we let be any arbitrary element of ,
Now we will prove that
Because is closure of , therefore there exists a sequence of points in such that .
So and
Also
is a continuous function .
So in particular is continuous at .
Therefore by definition of continuity at a point .
if then
Now , therefore ............. ( because )
Hence is a constant sequence and it converges to .
Also .
But a convergent sequence converges to a unique limit .
Therefore .
So we have proved that for any arbitrary .
Therefore
for every .
Therefore we proved
