Let \(\displaystyle \mathbb{R}_{\tau}\) be the set of real numbers with topology
\(\displaystyle \tau = \{(-x,x)| x>0\} \cup \{\emptyset, \mathbb{R}\}\)
and \(\displaystyle \mathbb{R}_{\tau} \times \mathbb{R}_{\tau}\) be the product topology on \(\displaystyle \mathbb{R}^2\).


a)Prove that \(\displaystyle A = \{(x,y) \in \mathbb{R}^2 | x^2 + y^2 < 1\}\) is open in \(\displaystyle \mathbb{R}_{\tau} \times \mathbb{R}_{\tau}\)


b)Find \(\displaystyle \overline{A}\). Justify your answer.

c) What functions \(\displaystyle f: {\mathbb{R}_{\tau}}^2 \rightarrow \mathbb{R}\) are continuous?
Here \(\displaystyle \mathbb{R}\) has the standard topology and \(\displaystyle {\mathbb{R}_{\tau}}^2 = \mathbb{R}_{\tau} \times \mathbb{R}_{\tau}\) has the product topology.

Please help!

To use latex on these boards, you must have \(\displaystyle <latex>\) rather than $<latex>$.

What have you done so far?
 
Unfortunately, nothing. I really need a hint about how to approach this.
The set \(\displaystyle A=\{(x,y) : x^2+y^2<1\}\) is the interior of the unit circle centered at the origin.
