Question
Without proving anything, determine if the following statements are true or false. For any
false statements, give an counterexample.
(a) A finite, nonempty set of real numbers always contains its supremum.
(b) If a < L for every element a in the set A, then sup A < L.
(c) If A and B are sets with the property that a < b for every a E A and b e B, then
sup A < inf B.
(d) If sup A = s and sup B = t, then sup(A+ B) = s+t. Here and elsewhere, the set A+B
is defined as
A+B = {a+b:a € A, and b e B}.
(e) If sup A < sup B then there is an element of B that is an upper bound for A.
