Question
Please write a legible and organized proof by induction. Answer question 1
February 17, 2021
1. Let A CN be a non-empty subset of natural numbers. Prove, using the
principle of mathematical induction, that A contains a least element.
That is, prove that there exists a natural number n E A such that, for all
m E A, one has n <m.
2. Prove that B = {2" | n E N}CR is an unbounded subset of R. That is,
prove that there does not exist an r R such that r > 2" for all n e N.
3. Let C CR be a non-empty bounded subset of integers (where bounded
means C is bounded above and bounded below). Prove that sup C is an
integer.
