Problem 7. Fix a R and let S = {x R | x < a} = (, a). Show that sup S = a. Use the density theorem to conclude that there is s S such that a ε < s < a. Problem 8. Consider a nonempty set S R. Prove that S has a supremum if and only if the set S = {x R | x S} has an infimum, in which case inf(E) = sup E.
