Step 1
Since S is a nonempty set of real numbers that is bounded from below, we can define a set -S, which consists of the negatives of all the numbers in S. Show more…

Prove the following statement If A is a non-empty set of real numbers that is bounded from below, then A has a greatest lower bound.

Let X be a set of positive real number and is bounded from below. Show that the set X-1:= {1/x | x belongs to X} has a least upper bound. Determine this least upper bound. Hint: By Theorem 0.20, X has a greatest lower bound (or infimum).

State whether the set is bounded above, bounded below, bounded. If a set is bounded above, give an upper bound; if it is bounded below, give a lower bound; if it is bounded, give an upper bound and a lower bound. $$(0,1,2,3,4)$$
