Intersection of dense subset with open subset is dense in the open subset
Statement
Suppose is a topological space, is an open subset of , and is a dense subset of . Then, is a dense subset of equipped with the subspace topology.
Facts used
Proof
Given: is a topological space, is an open subset of , and is a dense subset of . is a non-empty open subset of (in the subspace topology).
To prove: is non-empty.
Proof:
Step no. | Assertion | Facts used | Given data used | Previous steps used | Explanation |
