Exercise 2.1.7 (Interior of a set)

Show that if S is a subset of a topological space X, then int (S) is the union of all open sets contained in S.

Answers

We have to demonstrate that

int (S) = {U TU S}.

But the equivalence follows directly from the definition of interior, since it contains all points x S for which there is an open neighbourhood S such that U S.
