For a subset A of a metric space Xd Prove that A not equal X
For a subset A of a metric space (X,d). Prove that A not equal X) X in int A if and only if d(x,X-A) > 0 (Assume
Solution
A is a metric space of (X,d)
Let x belongs to int A
Then d(x,X-A) will be d(x,y) where y is not 0 as A not equals X
As x is in interior of A, x is not in boundary of A
Hence definite d(x,y) >0 thus d(x,X-A)>0
----------------------------------------------
Only if part:
Let d(x,X-A)>0
This implies x and X-A are different
i.e. x does not lie on the boundary of A
Hence x belongs to int A.
