Practice problems on supremum and infimum

Find the supremum and infimum (if they exist) of the following sets. Also decide which sets have maximum
and minimum elements respectively.

(a) x | x = 0 or x = n1 , n ∈ N

 √
(b) x ∈ R | 0 ≤ x ≤ 2, and x is a rational
(c) {x ∈ R|x2 + 2x + 2 ≥ 0}
(d) {x ∈ R|x < 0 and x2 + x − 1 < 0}
(e) n1 + (−1)n | n ∈ N

n  o
(f) 1 − √1n | n ∈ N
