Definition Let X be a subset of C. The closure of X is the subset \overline{X} of C defined by: \overline{X} = X \cup \{x \in C | x is a limit point of X\}. Problem 1 Show that X \subset C is closed if and only if X = \overline{X}. Problem 2 Show that the closure of X \subset C satisfies \overline{X} = \overline{\overline{X}}. Problem 3 Given any subset X \subset C, show that the closure \overline{X} is closed.

Definition Let X be a subset of C. The closure of X is the subset $\overline{X}$ of C defined by: $\overline{X} = X \cup \{x \in C | x \text{ is a limit point of } X\}$. Problem 1 Show that $X \subset C$ is closed if and only if $X = \overline{X}$. Problem 2 Show that the closure of $X \subset C$ satisfies $\overline{X} = \overline{\overline{X}}$. Problem 3 Given any subset $X \subset C$, show that the closure $\overline{X}$ is closed.
