Intersection of dense subset with open subset is dense in the open subset

From Topospaces

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

  1. Open subset of open subspace is open

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:
