Let A be a nonempty, bounded subset of R. Prove that inf A ≤ sup A. Determine the supremum and infimum of the set B = {a / (a + b) : a > 0, b > 0}.

Consider the set A = {4n / (n^2 + 1) : n ∈ N}. Find sup A and inf A. Prove your claims.

Let A, B be non-empty, bounded subsets of R. a) If the statement is true, prove it. If the statement is false, give a counterexample: sup(A U B) = max{sup(A), sup(B)}. b) If the statement is true, prove it. If the statement is false, give a counterexample: If A n B != null, then sup(A n B) = min{sup(A), sup(B)}.
