Justify assignments of grades other than A. Claim. Let A. If i=inf(A) and =0, then there is yA. such that yi+. "proof." Let y=i+2. Then iy, so yA. By construction of y,yi+. Claim. Let A. If A is bounded above, then Ac is bounded below. "proof." If A is bounded above, then sup(A) exists (because is complete). Because sup(A)=inf(Ac) (see the figure), inf(Ac) exists. Thus, Ac is bounded below. Claim. If AB, and if sup(A) and sup(B) both exist, then sup(A)sup(B). "proof." Assume that B and sup(A)sup(B). We choose =12(sup(A)sup(B)). Then 0 and sup(B)sup(A)sup(A). By part (ii) of Theorem 7.1.1, there is yA such that ysup(A). Then yB and ysup(B). This is impossible. Therefore, sup(A)sup(B). Claim. If f: and A is a bounded subset of , then the image setf(A) is bounded. "proof." Let m be an upper bound for A. Then am for all aA. Therefore, f(a)f(m) for all aA. Thus, f(m) is an upper bound for f(A).,/li> Claim. The set is not bounded above. "Proof." Suppose that is bounded above by the natural number m. Then m+1. is a natural number larger than m. This is a contradiction.3E4ELet A and B be subsets of . Prove that if A is bounded above and BA, then B is bounded above. if A is bounded below and BA, then B is bounded below. if A and B are bounded above, then ABis bounded above. if A and B are bounded below, then AB is bounded below.Let x be an upper bound for A.

Prove that if A is bounded above, then Ac is not bounded above. if A is bounded below, then Ac is not bounded below.Give an example of a set A for which both A and Ac are unbounded above and below.Let A. Prove that if sup(A) exists, then it is unique. That is, if x and y are both least upper bounds for A, then x=y. if inf(A) exists, then it is unique.Formulate and prove a characterization of greatest lower bounds similar to that in Theorem 7.1.2 for least upper bounds.If possible, give an example of a set A such that sup(A)=4 and 4A. a set A such that sup(A)=4 and 4A. a set A such that sup(A)=4 and 4A. a set A such that sup(A)4 and 4A.Let A.

The open ray (a,) is an open set. "Proof." Write the set (a,) as (a,)=n=0(a+n,a+n+1). Each set (a+n,a+n+1) is an open interval (each of length 1) and therefore an open set. By Theorem 7.2.2, (a,) is an open set. Claim. If A and B are compact, then AB is compact. "Proof." If A and B are compact, then for any cover {O:} for A, there exists a finite subcover O1,O2,...,On, and for any open cover {U:} for B, there exists a finite subcover U1,U2,...,Um. Thus, AO1O2On and BO1O2Om. Therefore, ABO1O2OnU1U2m, aunionof a finite number of open sets. Thus, AB is compact. Claim. If A is compact, BA, and B is closed, then B is compact. "Proof." Let {O:} be a cover for B. If {O:} is a cover for A, then there is a finite subcover of {O:} that covers A and hence covers B. If {O:} is not a cover for A, add one more open set O*=B to the collection to obtain a cover for A. This cover for A has a finite subcover of A that is a cover for B. In either case, B is covered by a finite number of open sets. Therefore, B is compact. Claim. If A is compact, BA, and B is closed, then B is compact. "Proof." B is closed by assumption. Because A is compact, A is bounded. Because BA, B is also bounded. Thus, B is closed and bounded. Therefore, B is compact. Claim. The set (5,) is compact. "Proof." The set l={(4,12),(10,)} is a cover for (5,). Then l is a finite subcover of l for (5,), so (5,), is compact.For real numbers x,1,2,...n, describe i=1nN(x,i). i=1nN(x,i).State the definition of continuity of the function fat the number a in terms of neighborhoods.Find the set of interior point for each of these subsets of .

Prove that if x is an accumulation point of A, then x is an accumulation point of AF.In the proof of Theorem 7.3.1 that =, it is asserted that to prove that every interval (x,y) contains rationals, it suffices to consider the case when x and y are both positive. Explain.Assign a grade of A (correct), C (partially correct), or F (failure) to each. Justify assignments of grades other than A. Claim. For A, B,(AB)=AB. "Proof." Because AAB,A(AB) by Exercise 6(a). Likewise, B(AB). Therefore, AB(AB). To show that (AB),AAB, let x(AB). Then for all 0,N(x,) contains a point of AB distinct from x. Restating this, we say, for all 0, that N(x,) contains a point of A distinct from x or a point of B distinct from x. Thus, for all 0,N(x,) contains a point of A distinct from x, or for all 0,N(x,) contains a point of B distinct from x. But this means xA or xB. Therefore, xAB. Claim. For A,(Ac)=(A)c. “Proof.” x(A)c iff xA iff x is not an accumulation point for A iff x is an accumulation point for Ac iff x(Ac). Claim. For A, B,(AB)AB. “Proof.” ( AB)=( A B c )definitionofAB A( B c )Exercise7( b) A( B)Cbecause( B c ) ( B ) c =AB. Claim. If A is closed, then AA. "Proof." Suppose that A is closed. Then Ac is open. Let xAc. Then x is an interior point of Ac. Therefore, there exists 0, so N(x,)Ac. Hence, N(x,)A=. Thus, x is not an accumulation point for A. Because xAc implies xA, we conclude AA. Claim. If A is a set with an accumulation point, BA, and B is infinite, then B has an accumulation point. "Proof." First, A is infinite because BA and B is infinite. Because A has an accumulation point, by the Bolzano-Weierstrass Theorem A must be bounded. Because BA, this means B is bounded. Hence, by the Bolzano-Weierstrass Theorem again, B has an accumulation point.Prove that 7 is an accumulation point for [3,7). 5 is an accumulation point for (4,5)(5,6). 0 is an accumulation point for {1+( 1)nn:n}. e is an accumulation point for {(1+ 1 n)n:n}.Find an example of an infinite subset of that has no accumulation points. exactly one accumulation point. exactly two accumulation points.Find the derived set of each of the following sets. {n+12n:n} {2n:n} {6n:n} {72n:n} (0,1] (3,7){2,6,8} {1+( 1)nnn+1:n} (0,1) {1+n2(1+ ( 1 ) n)n:n} {sinx:x(2,2)} {k+1n:k,n} {x2y:y}Let S=(0,1].

Prove that if S is open, then every point of S is an accumulation point of S. Is the converse of part (c) true? Explain.Recall from Exercise 11 of Section 4.6 that the sequence yn is a subsequence of xn if and only if there is an increasing function f: such that yn=xf(n). Prove that if x is bounded, then every subsequence of x is bounded. if x is monotone, then every subsequence of x is monotone.A sequence x of real numbers is a Cauchy* sequence if for every 0, there exists an integer M such that if m,nM, then |xnxm|. That is, terms in the sequence are arbitrarily close together if the terms are chosen far enough along the sequence. Prove that if x is a Cauchy sequence, then x is bounded. Prove that if x is a convergent sequence, then x is a Cauchy sequence. (It can also be shown that every Cauchy sequence converges.)5EAssign a grade of A (correct), C (partially correct), or F (failure) to each. Justify assignments of grades other than A. Claim. Every bounded non-increasing sequence converges. "Proof." Let x be a bounded non-increasing sequence. Then yn=xn defines a bounded non-decreasing sequence. By the proof of Theorem 7.4.3, limnyn=L for some L. Thus, limnxn=L. Claim. The sequence x, where xn=lnnn, converges. * Augustin Louis Cauchy (1789—1857) was a creative mathematician and pioneer in the efforts to bring rigor to the infinitesimal calculus. He was the first to define complex numbers as a pair of real numbers. Cauchy's name is associated with concepts and results in many fields of mathematics, includinggeometry, analysis, and mathematical physics. "Proof." Because lnnn for all natural numbers n, lnnn1. Therefore, x is a bounded sequence. The derivative of lnnn is 1lnnn2 which is less than 0 for every natural number n greater than e. Therefore, except for the first two terms, x is a decreasing sequence. Because x is bounded and decreasing, x converges.7EGive an example of a bounded sequence that is not convergent. an increasing sequence that is not convergent. a convergent sequence that is not monotone. a divergent sequence x such that the sequence whose nth term is |xn|converges. an increasing sequence bounded above by 2 that does not converge to 2. an increasing sequence that converges to 2.9ELet A and B be subsets of .

Justify assignments of grades other than A. Claim. If G is a group with identity e, then G is abelian. "Proof." Let a and b be elements of G. Then ab=aeb=a(ab)(ab)1b=a(ab)(b 1a 1)b=(aa)(bb 1)a1b=(aa)a1b=(aa)( b 1a)1=a(a ( b 1 a ) 1)=a( ( b 1 a ) 1a)=a(( a 1 b)a)=(aa 1)(ba)=e(ba)=ba. Therefore, ab=ba and G is abelian. Claim. If G is a group with elements x, y, and z and if xz=xy, then x=y. "Proof." If z=e, then xz=yz implies that xe=ye, so x=y. If ze, then the inverse of z exists, and xz=yz implies xzz=yzz and x=y. Hence, in all cases, if xz=yz, then x=y. Claim. The set + of positive rationals with the operation of multiplication is a group. "Proof." The product of two positive rationals is a positive rational, so + is closed under multiplication. Because 1r=r=r1 for every r,1 is the identity. The inverse of the positive rational g is the positive rational ba. The rationals are associative under multiplication because the reals are associative under multiplication. Claim. If m is prime, then (m{0},) has no divisors of zero. "proof." Suppose that a is a divisor of zero in (m{0},). Then a0, and there exists b0 in m such that ab=0. Then ab=m (mod m), so ab=m. This contradicts the assumption that m is prime. Claim. If m is prime, then (m{0},) has no divisors of zero. "proof." Suppose that a is a divisor of zero in (m{0},). Then a0, and there exists b0 in m such that ab=0. Then ab=0 (mod m), so m divides ab. Because m is prime, m divides a, or m divides b. But because a and b are elements of m, both are less than m. This is impossible. Claim. For every natural number m, (m{0},) is a group. "Proof." We know that (,) is associative with identity element 1. Therefore, (m{0},) is associative with identity element 1. It remains to show every element has an inverse. For xm{0},x0. Therefore, 1/xm{0} and x1/x=x(1/x)=1. Therefore, every element of m{0} has an inverse. Claim. If (m{0},) is a group, then m is prime. "Proof." Assume that (m{0},) is a group. Suppose that m is not prime. Let m=rs, where r and s are integers greater than 1 and less than m. Then rs=m=0 (mod m). Because r has an inverse t in m{0},tr=1. Then s=1s=(tr)s=t(rs)=t0=0. That is, s=0 (mod m). This is impossible because 1sm.Assign a grade of A (correct), C (partially correct), or F (failure) to each.

Therefore, xH. Second, let a,bxH. Then a=xh and b=xk for some h,kH. Then we have ab1=(xh)(xk)1=(xh)(k1)(x1)=x(hk1x1)xH. Therefore, xH is a subgroup of G.Find all subgroups of (8,+). (U11,). (5,+).

Find the additive identity in this ring, the unity element, and the additive and multiplicative inverses of (2,5). Hint: For each answer, you must give a representative of the equivalence class in P. Suppose that f:(,+,)(P,,) is given by f(p/q)=(p,q). Prove that fis a ring homomorphism.6E7ELet (R,+,) be an algebraic structure such that (R,+) is an abelian group with identity 0. (R{0},) is an abelian group with identity 1. For all a, b, cR,a(b+c)=(ab)+(ac). 01. Prove that (R,+,) is a field by showing that for all a, b, cR,(a+b)c=(ac)+(bc). R has no divisors of zero.Assign a grade of A (correct), C (partially correct), or F (failure) to each. Justify assignments of grades other than A. Claim. If (R,+,) is a ring, a,bR, and a0, then the equation ax=b has a unique solution. "Proof." Suppose that p and q are two solutions to ax=b. Then ap=b and aq=b. Therefore, ap=aq. Therefore, p=q. Claim. If (R,+,) is a finite integral domain, then (R,+,) is a field. "Proof." Suppose that R has n elements. Let xR . Then the n+1 powers of x:e=x0,x,x2,x3,...,xn are not all distinct. Therefore, xt=xr for integers t and r, where we may assume that tr. Then xtxt=xtxr, Therefore, e=xrt. and therefore e=xxrt1. Thus, e=xxrt1. has an inverse. Hence R is a field. Claim. Let (R,+,) be an integral domain with a, b, cR and unity element 1. If ab=ac and a0, than b=c. "proof." Suppose that ab=ac and a0. Then b=1b=(a1a)b=a1(ab)=a1(ac)=(a1a)c=1c=c. Therefore b=c.Let M be the set of all 22 matrices with real entries. Define M by Det[abcd]=adbc. Prove that Det:(M,)(,) is operation preserving, where (M,) denotes M with matrix multiplication.
