Let\[S=\{r\in\mathbb{Q}:0

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

can you tell me what int() and db() denote?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

int() denotes the interior points of the set and bd() denotes the boundary points of the set.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

There are infinitely many rational numbers in between 0 and root 2 though.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

could one of u help me?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

please?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

maybe im missing the definition, but isnt the rational number 1 in that set? or am I just completely missunderstand the definition "interior point"?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont know..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

come one on of u who are vewing this question could understand the math im doing.. please help.. come on.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks for teh help..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I was taught that a boundary point of\[S\subseteq\mathbb{R}\] is a point\[x\in\mathbb{R}\]such that for every neighborhood N of x,\[N\cap S\neq\varnothing\]and\[N\cap (\mathbb{R}\setminus S)\neq\varnothing\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ah ok, then its me misunderstanding the definition then.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Also, an interior point of\[S\subseteq\mathbb{R}\]is a point\[x\in\mathbb{R}\]such that there exists a neighborhood N of x such that\[N\subseteq S\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Since 1 is right on the boundary of S, any neighborhood of 1 will contain points outside of S. Thus it cannot be an interior point.
