Examples. Justify your answers briefly.(a) There is a function f : R → R so that f(-1) = –1 and f(1) = 1, but sothat f is never 0. What else can you say about f?(b) Explain briefly why {r e Q20 : x < 5}|{x € Q>0 :x > 5} is a Dedekindcut. What positive real number does it represent?(c) Give an example of a sequence an whose image set {an : n e N} is notcompact.(d) Give an example of a subset of R? that is neither open nor closed.
