Question Concerning the classification of 1-manifolds

98 Views Asked by At

I am having trouble proving the following statement used in proving the classification of 1-manifolds. Any help would be great. Thank you.

Let $L$ be a subset of $X$ diffeomorphic to an open interval in $\mathbb{R}$, where dim $X=1.$ Then the closure Cl$(L)$ contains at most two points not in L.
