Closed subset of Rn
Please see the attached file for full problem description.
Let A and B be closed subset of Rn with A ∩ B = Ø.
a. Prove that ∀u ∈ A, ∃_ > 0 such that N_ (u) ∩ B = Ø
b. Prove that there is an open set OA satisfying OA ⊃ A and OA ∩ B = Ø
c. Prove or find a counterexample: There are open sets OA and OB satisfying OA ⊃ A,
OB ⊃ B = B and OA ∩ OB = Ø

Let A and B be closed subset of Rn with A  B = Ø.
a. Prove that u  A, ε > 0 such that Nε (u)  B = Ø
Proof. We prove it by contradiction. Suppose the statement is not true. Then we know that there exists a u  A, for all such that , i.e., . So when n=1,2,..., we get a sequence such that
which means that { } converges to u. Since B ...
