Verify that the two definitions of set 'A is nowhere dense' are equivalent: 1. A set is nowhere dense if it is not dense in any interval I, i.e. for any subinterval I of R, there is an (x,y) ⊂(I∩Ac ). 2. A set A is nowhere dense if the closure of A contains no nonempty open intervals.

Question
Verify that the two definitions of set 'A is nowhere dense' are equivalent:
1. A set is nowhere dense if it is not dense in any interval I, i.e. for any subinterval I of R, there is an (x,y) ⊂(I∩Ac ).
2. A set A is nowhere dense if the closure of A contains no nonempty open intervals.
Expert Solution
Step 1
We will prove that (1) implies (2) and (2) implies (1). Thereby the two definitions will be equivalent.
