we have defined open sets in R: for any a ∈ R, there is sigma > 0 such that (a − sigma, a + sigma) ⊆ A.
(i) Let A and B be two open sets in R. Show that A ∩ B is open.
(ii) Let {Aα}α∈I be a family of open sets in R. Show that ∪(α∈I)Aα is open. Hint: Follow the definition of open sets.
Please be specific and rigorous! Thanks!
