Let $X$ be a topological space and A be a nonempty subset of X. Then

choose the correct statement:



$1.$ $A$ is dense in $X$, if $(Xsetminus A)$ is nowhere dense in $X.$



$2.$ $(Xsetminus A)$ is nowhere dense , if $A$ is dense in $X.$



$3$.$A$ is dense in $X$, if the interior of $(Xsetminus A)$ is empty.



$4.$The interior of $(X setminus A)$ is empty , if $A$ is dense in $X$.



My attempt : my answer is option $1 ,2 $ and $ 4.$



Option $1$ is True. Take $A = mathbb{Q}.$



Option $2$ is true. Same logic in option $1.$



Option $3$ is false. Take $A =[0,1]$ , $A^0 =A text{interior} =(0,1) neq phi.$



Option $4$ is true. Take $A= mathbb{Q}.$



Is its correct or not ?



Any hints/solution will be appreciated.

    If you say true, an example is not an argument. Only for false statements you need to exhibit a counterexample.

  1. If $Xsetminus A$ is nowhere dense, this means that $Xsetminus (X setminus A)) = A$ contains a dense and open subset, so indeed $A$ is dense. An example cannot answer this, you need an argument.


  2. If $A$ is dense, then $Xsetminus A$ need not be nowhere dense, as shown by the example $A = mathbb{Q}$.


  3. If the interior of $Xsetminus A$ is empty, then $A$ is dense: $overline{A} = Xsetminus operatorname{int}(Xsetminus A))$.


  4. If $A$ is dense in $X$, the interior of $X setminus A$ is empty; this follows by the same formula, or note that otherwise a non-empty interior of $Xsetminus A$ could not intersect the dense set $A$.

Section du cône ou projection du cercle. En géométrie, une ellipse est une courbe plane fermée obtenue par l’intersection d’un cône de révolution avec un plan, à condition que celui-ci coupe l'axe de rotation du cône ou du cylindre : c'est une conique d'excentricité strictement comprise entre 0 et 1. On peut également la définir comme le lieu des points dont la somme des distances à deux points fixes, dits foyers, est constante (sa construction par la méthode du jardinier est très simple). Dans la vie courante, l’ellipse est la forme qu'on perçoit en regardant un cercle en perspective, ou la figure formée par l’ombre d'un disque sur une surface plane. On retrouve aussi, en première approximation [ 1 ] , des ellipses dans les trajectoires des corps célestes (planètes, comètes ou satellites arti...
