## Proving linearity of the differential operator $a_n(x)D^n+a_{n-1}(x)D^{n-1}+\ldots+a_1(x)D+a_0(x)$.

I am taking a first course on ordinary differential equations(with background in linear algebra). I would like to know, if the proof to the below claim is correct (and that I am not using advanced facts to prove basic facts). Prove that every expression of the form: $$a_n(x)D^n+a_{n-1}(x)D^{n-1}+\ldots+a_1(x)D+a_0(x)$$ defines a linear transformation from $C^n[a,b]$ to […]

## Let X be a space and C a connected subset of X. Suppose $C \subset D\subset\bar C$. Then D is connected.

This is how i showed it works. Let X be a space and C a connected subset of X. Suppose, C $\subset$ D $\subset$ $\overline{C}$, Then D is connected.\ Let, C $\subset$ X be connected and suppose C $\subset$ D $\subset$ $\overline{C}$. Then, if U,V $\not=$ $\emptyset$ form a separation of D, then we have […]
