We know that x belongs to Q is boundary point (∂ Q) by using the two definitions in Figure 2, but what the hell is this latter ∂ Q = R?

Choose any point r in R and choose any e>0.

#

We must show that open ball of radius e and centered at r will contain both a rational and an irrational number in it. Do you know why?

Probably because on the coordinate axis, the left and right sides of a rational number are irrational numbers

So let's choose any $r\in\mathbb{R}$ and prove that it is a boundary point.
