what's D?
Derived set
Want me to send the definition?
dont spam ping, but no, it's just the set of clusters
Can you elaborate I didn’t ping anyone
replies ping.
$$ x\in D(X) \Leftrightarrow x\in \mathrm{Cl}(X\setminus {x}) $$

Try proving the contrapositive, since then you're working with existances instead of for alls
what is that c?
But where do I start
By taking a point from D(A)?
the contrapositive is $A'\cup B'\not\subseteq (A\cup B)'$
Omegabet_
Cl = closure (with respect to the given topology)
so if $x\not\in A'\cup B'$, what can you conclude?
Omegabet_
X is in A U B
' is derived set
if x doesn’t belong to D(A) or D(B) then it’s not a limit point
or, not and
but if x isnt in D(A)UD(B), then it's not in D(A) or in D(B)
hence there exists neighborhoods of x such that...?
when you prove inclusion A subset B, you have two options:
- take x in A and show x in B
- take x notin B and show x notin A
you need to appeal to the notions of "derived set" and "set union" for this problem
It does contain only x not another point of A?
are you asking or telling?
both
Yes, there exists a neighbourhood of $x$, $U_x$, such that $(U_x\cap A)\setminus{x}=\emptyset$
Omegabet_
Okay but we said they are not in the derived set
Likewise V_x for B
now consider $G:=U_x\cap V_x$. This is an open neighbourhood of $x$, and one (being you) can show that $(G\cap(A\cup B))\setminus{x}=\emptyset$
Omegabet_
U_x and V_x are two neighborhoods?
yes
G is the intersection of the neighbourhoods provided to us by $x\not\in D(A)$ and $x\not\in D(B)$
Omegabet_
ie unpacking the definition of not being a cluster point gives us these U_x and V_x for A and B respectively
I claim that G only intersects with AUB at x, which is now just an exercise in some set theory
alternatively, apply this and the fact that closure of finite union is the finite union of closures
anyway I have to go study for a quiz, so maybe now aL can take over without being in the way

Thank you for your help wish you all the best for your quiz
ty
I will write down what we just talked about and think then tell you what I got
sound good
and I haven’t revised closure yet so I can’t use it here until I get to that chapter
This is what we just talked about
I been thinking but I got nothing tbh
I understood what we did here
That x is not a Limit point
a limit point of what?
I….think so
Of A or B
alright, and you want to prove x is not a limit point of A union B
yes i guess
what does it mean x is not a limit point of X by the definition you are working with?
That x doesn’t belong to derived set A or B
how do you define derived set
Is the set of all limit point of a set A in a Topological space (X,T)
, rotate
ok so, put all of that together
"x is not a limit point of A"
there exists a neighborhood of x, call it V_x, such that
aL
it can also be phi
true
aL
so, now assume x is notin D(A) and x is notin D(B)
Isn’t that what we did here
.
you have two neighborhoods of x now
write out what it means x is not a limit point of A union B
and figure out whether you have what you need for it
play around with it, assume you have the following
$$ A_x \cap (A\setminus {x}) = \emptyset = B_x \cap (B\setminus {x}) $$
aL
to show x is not a limit point of A U B, it suffices to find a neighborhood of x , C_x such that
$$ C_x \cap ((A\cup B)\setminus {x}) = \emptyset$$
aL
That c is closure ?
no
it’s another neighborhood
yes
We have three now
no, we have two
your task is to figure out how to obtain C_x from the assumptions you have
I only wrote out what it means by definition that x is not a limit point of A U B
i didn't claim it was actually true
okay so I’m thinking now
take your time
I was thinking why we did it this way well why we can’t say it’s a limit point of A U B
Won’t it be easier if we didn’t use contrapositive?
your choice
don't write that, it's not always correct, that was my bad
stick to this version
Al but that is too complicated for me
If I don’t use the contrastive can I do it the normal way like this way
you can
assume x is a limit point of A U B, x is not a limit point of A and prove x is a limit point of B
, rotate
Is the one I did correct?
that is correct
THE WHOLE THING?

THANK YOU SO MUCH AL
YOU HELPED ME SO KYCH
much*

What should I say after the therefore
Just write down what was written
in the question
what do you think?
I think I should write therefore D(A U B)=D(A)UD(B)
the converse inclusion is obvious, so that works
and you were so patient with me 
What is thattttt
something for a nerd like me
