Let B be a dense set in R (=real numbers). B can be written as

That last is another assumption, not something you're
saying follows, right? In other words, assume B is
a dense G_delta.

Let C be an infinite
countable set.

The question is: Is B\C dense in R? and why?

Hint: It sounds like you just learned a big theorem
that says something about dense countable intersections
of open sets. B\C is the intersection of B and R\C,
and R\C is also a dense G_delta.

I think that you mean Baire's theorem. Thanks very much for helping.
