$begingroup$
Let $nin mathbb N$, and let $mathscr P$ denote the collection of all polynomials in $n$ variables. For $pin mathscr P$, let $Z(p)={(x_1,x_2,...,x_n)|p(x_1,x_2,...,x_n)=0}$.
Show that ${Z(p):pin mathscr P}$ is a basis for the closed sets of some topology (Called the Zariski topology) on $mathbb R^n$.
My attempt:-
I used the result for Basis for the closed sets of topology on X.
(I) We need to prove that $bigcap_{pin mathscr P}Z(p)=emptyset.$ $Z(p(x_1,x_2,...,x_n)=1)={(x_1,x_2,...,x_n)|p(x_1,x_2,...,x_n)=0}=emptyset$. Which implies $bigcap_{pin mathscr P}Z(p) subset Z(p(x_1,x_2,...,x_n)=1)=emptyset implies bigcap_{pin mathscr P}Z(p)=emptyset.$
(II) if $Z(p_0),Z(p_1)inmathscr X$ and $(x_1,x_2,...,x_n) notin Z(p_0)cup Z(p_1)$, then there is a $Z(p_2)inmathscr X$ such that $(x_1,x_2,...,x_n) notin Z(p_2)supseteq Z(p_0)cup Z(p_1)$.
$(x_1,x_2,...,x_n) notin Z(p_0)cup Z(p_1)implies p_0(x_1,x_2,...,x_n)neq0$ and $p_1(x_1,x_2,...,x_n)neq 0.$ We can choose $p_2=p_0 p_1$ such that $(x_1,x_2,...,x_n)notin Z(p_2)$. We know that $Z(p_0)cup Z(p_1) subset Z(p_2)$.
Have I done the proof correctly?

The set of ${Z(I): I subseteq mathcal{P}}$, where $Z(I)=bigcap_{p in I} Z(p)$ is in fact the whole topology, not just a closed base for it, as I showed here.
The basis fact immediately follows, by the definition of a closed base (you can write all closed sets as intersection of base elements).

$Z(p)={(x_1,x_2,...,x_n)|p(x_1,x_2,...,x_n)=0}$

When we substitute $p(x_1,x_2,...,x_n)=1$ we get $Z(p=1)$. which is an empty set.

If I define like this, is my proof correct?

No, Z is defined for polynomials, it is not defined for statements like p = 1. Thus Z(p = 1) is meaningless.
