(b) Prove that ≥0 = 0 <0 and 0 ≥0 = − < 0 [textbook, page 14]
2. Find the infimum and supremum of the set
= [2, ∞) ∪ for ∈ +1
3. Prove that √2 is not a rational number.
4. Suppose that ! is a sequence of real numbers that converges to 1 as → ∞. Use the
formal definition of the limit of a sequence to prove that the following limit exists. #$% & → ' − 2 as → ∞. $% [textbook, page 45]
5. Give a counterexample to show that the following statement is false.
If ( ! ) is Cauchy and (*! ) is bounded, then ( ! *! ) is Cauchy. [textbook, page 60] 6. Use definition to prove that the following limit exists. / 4 lim sin23 $ 5 = 0 $→. [textbook, page 74]
7. Suppose that 6: → satisfies 68 + *) = 68 ) + 68*) for each , * ∈ . Show that
68 ) = 68 ) for all ∈ and ∈ 9. Hence, prove that 68: ) = :68 ) for all ∈ and : ∈ ;. [textbook, page 91]
8. Let 6: < → = and > is positive such that |68) − 68?)| ≤ >| − ?| for , ? ∈ <. Show that 6 is uniformly continuous on <.
