is the set {1/n : n natural } open? i suspect yes since every element is not an interior point

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You need to give the set a topology before you can talk about open and closed.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is this a subset of \(\mathbb{R}\) with the usual topology?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's real analysis so no?

OpenStudy (freckles):

dumb question do we also consider half open sets? or are we only discussing open or closed?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

only open and closed

OpenStudy (anonymous):

In an open set every point IS an interior point. There are no boundary points

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, so the given set is not open then?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Correct

OpenStudy (freckles):

but what about 1 I know 0 isn't included in the set but 1 is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1 is not interior though , so ..

OpenStudy (freckles):

oh ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thank you everybody
