Functional analysis: Shoe set is not dense in C([a,b])

lundi 28 avril 2014

1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data



Let [itex] [a,b] \subset \mathbb{R} [/itex] be a compact interval and t0 [itex]\in [a,b] [/itex] fixed. Show that the set [itex] S = {f \in C[a,b] | f(t_0) = 0} [/itex] is not dense in the space [itex]C[a,b][/itex] (with the sup-norm).



2. Relevant equations

sup - norm: http://ift.tt/1mQGBfO





3. The attempt at a solution



I tried to take function f from S and function g from C[a,b] and calculate the sup-norm of the difference of the functions and make it bigger than some number. However I am not able to do so.. I'm not even sure if my approach is correct here. What should be my strategy?
