Problem 4
Prove that if \(A \subset B\) and \(A\) is dense in \(B\), then \(\bar{A}=\bar{B}\). Is the statement correct without the assumption that \(A \subset B ?\)
Problem 4
If \(E\) has measure zero, show that the reflected set $$ -E=\\{-x: x \in E\\} $$ also has measure zero.
Problem 5
Is \(\mathbb{R} \backslash \mathbb{Q}\) dense in \(\mathbb{Q} ?\)
Problem 7
Prove that the complement of a dense open subset of \(\mathbb{R}\) is nowhere dense in \(\mathbb{R}\).
Problem 12
Find a calculus textbook proof for the statement that a continuous function \(f\) on an interval \([a, b]\) that has a zero derivative on \((a, b)\) must be constant. Improve the proof to allow a finite set of points on which \(f\) is not known to have a zero derivative.
Problem 16
By altering the construction of the Cantor set, construct a nowhere dense closed subset of \([0,1]\) so that the sum of the lengths of the intervals removed is not equal to 1 . Will this set have measure zero?
