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
