Determine whether $S cap T$ is closed and bounded












0












$begingroup$


Let $$S={xin mathbb{R} : text{ } x^6-x^5 leq 100}$$



$$T={x^2-2x : text{ } xin (0, infty)}$$



Determine wether $ S cap T$ is closed and bounded?



My Try



$S$ is bounded hence $ S cap T$ is also bounded.



$S=[a,b]$ where $a<-1$ because -1 satisfy the equation given. and $T=(-1, infty)$ hence $ S cap T=[-1,b]$



Hence $ S cap T$ is closed and bounded



However I am not satisfied with my reasoning.
Can anyone tell me the proper solution.

    You have to justify why $S$ is a bounded interval, and your formula for $T$ is incorrect, take $x=1$ in the defining set.

Let $s(x) = x^6-x^5$, since $s$ is continuous, $S=s^{-1} ((-infty, 100])$ is closed.



Since $s(x) to infty$ as $|x| to infty$ we see that $S$ is bounded, hence compact.



Let $t(x) = x^2-2x = x(x-2)$, differentiating shows that $t$ has a $min$ of $-1$. at $x=1$,
and we see that $t(x) to infty$ as $x to infty$. Hence $T=[-1,infty)$, which is
closed.



Hence $T cap S$ is closed.

    Let $s(x) = x^6-x^5$, since $s$ is continuous, $S=s^{-1} ((-infty, 100])$ is closed.



    Since $s(x) to infty$ as $|x| to infty$ we see that $S$ is bounded, hence compact.



    Let $t(x) = x^2-2x = x(x-2)$, differentiating shows that $t$ has a $min$ of $-1$. at $x=1$,
    and we see that $t(x) to infty$ as $x to infty$. Hence $T=[-1,infty)$, which is
    closed.



    Hence $T cap S$ is closed.
