Find an example of a nonempty set satisfying:

• Open, every point is a limit point
• Closed, every point is a limit point
• Closed, every point is a limit point, nowhere dense in R

Expert Solution
Step 1
  1. Just because a nonempty open set contains only limit points does not mean that the set contains all its limit points. For example, all points in the open interval (0,1) are limit points, but this set does not contain the limit points 0 and 1.

  2. The closed subset of R , [0,1] provides that the every point within this interval is a limit point.
