Proving that two real functions are equal [duplicate]

This question already has an answer here:




  • Continuous function and dense set

    2 answers





Let $f : mathbb{R} to mathbb{R}$ and $g : mathbb{R} to mathbb{R}$ be continuous functions. Suppose that $D ⊆ mathbb{R}$,
and that $D$ is dense in $mathbb{R}$. Suppose that $f(x) = g(x)$ for every $x ∈ D$. Prove that
$f(x) = g(x)$ for every $x ∈ mathbb{R}$.




Any tips for where I can start here? I'm pulling up blanks for this.



EDIT: there is a very similar question asked, but I have no idea what a metric space is so the whole thing didn't mean a ton to me unfortunately.

          Hint. Let $x in mathbb{R}setminus D$ then, since $D$ is dense in $mathbb{R}$, there exists a sequence ${d_n}_n$ in $D$ such that $d_nto x$. By your assumption $f(d_n)=g(d_n)$. Now use the continuity of $f$ and $g$ at $x$.

            The set $U:={,f(x)ne g(x)mid xinBbb R}$ is open. We are given that $Ucap D=emptyset$, but as $D$ is dense, it has non-empty intersection with every non-empty open set. We conclude that $U$ is empty.

              Hint: Prove the set $ A= {x in mathbb{R} vert f (x)=g (x)}$ is closed in $mathbb {R}$. Clearly, $D subseteq A $. Taking closure on both sides, we get $mathbb {R} subseteq A implies mathbb {R}=A $.

                                        2 2 I have a Zotero bibliography in Overleaf.

My SQL looks like this: SELECT PersNbr, PersFirstName, PersMiddleName, PersLastName FROM Pers WHERE PersNbr = :persNbr; I'm saving this query in a DataTable so each column selected has it's own column in the Datatable . I want to make the .DisplayMember a combination of PersFirstName + PersMiddleName + PersLastName so their full name appears like this: comboBox.DisplayMemeber = "PersFirstName" + "PersMiddleName" + "PersLastName" I know I can just to this on the query: SELECT PersNbr, (PersFirstName || PersMiddleName || PersLastName) PersName and then just do this: comboBox.DisplayMember = "PersName"; but I

                                        2 Since I am not eligible for any Railcard, the only available discount/bonus scheme is Nectar Card for me. GWR, SWR, LNER and Virgin Trains allow to collect Nectar points and I have already linked a card to my GWR account. A friend suggested me to use Trainline App, because it can search for bus tickets either. I had a look at the application, but could not see any option for Nectar. Is there a way to collect Nectar points when I buy tickets via Trainline? uk trains loyalty-programs trainline share | improve this question asked Dec 2 '18 at 15:50 ahmedus 3,224 5 19 49
