Prove that union I: = Uα Iα is an open interval.
Not what you're looking for?
Fix a point p in R. Let { Iα } be a ( possibly infinite ) collection of open intervals Iα = ( cα , dα )
which is a subset of R, such that pЄ Iα for all α.
Prove that the union I: = Uα Iα is also an open interval ( possibly infinite ).
Hint: Consider c: = infα cα and d: = supα dα and show that I = ( c, d ).
