Dense subset of $C[0,1]$ In $C[0,1]$ the set $\{f(x): f(0)\neq 0\}$ is dense? I know only that polynomials are dense in $C[0,1]$, could any one give me hint how to show this set is dense?thank you.
 A: It is dense. It is enough to show that there are functions of arbitrarily small norm in the set, which shouldn't be too hard.
In general, the complement of any proper subspace of a normed space is dense, by a similar argument (possibly even easier, as is sometimes the case with generalizations where you don't think about the unnecessary things that would distract you otherwise).
A: Your set $A = \{f\in C[0,1],f(0)\neq 0\}$ is dense in $C[0,1]$: let's take $f\in C[0,1]$ such as $f(0)=0$. We can consider the series $(f_n)$, where $$f_n(x) = \begin{cases}f(x) &\text{ if } x\geq\frac{1}{n} \\ \frac{1}{n}+n\times x\times \left(f\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)-\frac{1}{n}\right)& \text{ otherwise }\end{cases}$$ otherwise. 
It is easy to verify that $\forall n, f_n\in A$, and $f_n\rightarrow f$ (for different distances), which proves that $A$ is dense in $C[0,1]$.
A: Yes. Take $f\in \mathcal{C}[0,1]$ so that $f(0) = 0$.  Now define 
$$f_n(x) = f(x) + {1\over n}, \qquad n\in\mathbb{N}.$$
We have $f_n\to f$ uniformly, whilst $f_n(0) \not= 0$ for all $n\in \mathbb{N}.$
