Prove .1

Q1. Prove that n  3n for alln  N .

Let

P(n):n<3n

For n=1, the gives expression become

1<31

So the given statement is true for n=1

P(1) is true

Assume that P(k) is true, then

P(k):K<3k

Now we want to show that

K+1<3k+1

We have K<3k by assumption

K+1<3k+1

K+1<3k+3k+3k

K+1<3.3k
K+1<3k+1

Thus , it is true for n=k+1

Hence, it is proved

Q2. Prove that if {sn}is non decreasing , then lim sn  sup{sn }

x 

Let, S=sup{sn}
take   0
 sn suchthat S    Sno

since{sn }is monotonicincrea sing.

S   Sno  sn  S   for n  no

S   sn  S   for n  no

| sn  S |  for n  n o

lim sn  S
x 

Hence it is proved

Q3. Suppose S be a nonempty set of real numbers which is bounded
below and −S be the set of all
numbers −s, where s ∈S. Show that
inf S = −sup(−S).
Solution:

As ,S is bounded blow

  inf(S)
by defimation
  x  x S
   x
 x  
thus   is theupper bound of  s
Let by defination of order field  s is bounded above and has sup ermumin real number

sup( s)  
   ......(i )

Conversely;
Since –s is bounded above and has supermum
  sup( s)
by defination
y     y s
 y  
   y
thus   isthe inf(s)  { y, y  S}exist

let
  inf(s)
   .....(ii)

From I and ii we get

  
inf(S)  sup(  s)

Hence proved

Q4. Show that the set of rational numbers A = {p ∈Q : p2>2} has no

greatest lower bound in the
set of rational numbers. Is the set A has least upper bound in set of
rational numbers.
Solution :
We suppose on contrary, supermom exist let

P=sup(A)

In order to prove this theorem, we wil show that for

Every p  A . We find a number q such that q  A q>p

Let
 p2  2
q p as p 2  2
p2
p2  2  0
q is  ve
so, q  p

Now , we will show that q  A

if q  A
q2  2
q2  2  0
p2  2
q p
p2
p (p  2)  p 2  2
q

p 2  2 p p 2  2

q2  2  ( ) 2

2 p2  2
q2  2 
( p  2) 2
2(p 2  2
q2  2 
( p  2) 2
q2  0
p2  2
p2  2  0
q2  2
q p0
q0

Which is contradiction

Hence A has no least upper bound
