Definition 4.3.9. Let (S, d) be a metric space. We say that U is an open subset of S provided Int(U) =
U. That is, U is an open subset provided for any a E U , there exists an Ez > 0 such that B(x, Ez) C U.
The notation E, reminds us that the radius of the ball centered at æ that is contained in U will depend
on x.
Which sets are open in the metric space (IR, d), where d(x, y) = |x – y|? Explain by appealing to denition 4.3.9.
