Let $(\mathcal{M}, d)$ be a metric space.

  1. If $E \subseteq \mathcal{M}$ is open, then $E$ has no limit points.
    1. True
    2. False
  2. It is a special case of a theorem from last time that if $U, V \subseteq \mathcal{M}$ are open, then so is $U \cap V$. Which of the following might be a reasonable start to proving this fact?
    1. Suppose $r \gt 0$ and $B_r(x) \subseteq U \cap V$...
    2. Let $x \in U$ and $y \in V$, and take $r \gt 0$ so that $y \in B_r(x)$ (and $x \in B_r(y)$)...
    3. Let $x \in U \cap V$ and take $r_1, r_2 \gt 0$ so that $B_{r_1}(x) \subseteq U$ and $B_{r_2}(x) \subseteq V$...
    4. Suppose that $x$ is not a limit point of $U$ and not a limit point of $V$, and take $r_1, r_2 \gt 0$ to witness this fact...
  3. Let $E = [0, 1) \cup \set{2} \cup \set{3+\frac1n \mid n \in \N}$. Which of the following is not a limit point of $E$?
    1. $0$
    2. $\frac12$
    3. $2$
    4. $3$
