2. In the following, let SCR be non-empty and bounded above. In this problem, we will see an interesting connection between the supremum and infinite sets. (a) Show that there exists a sequence {n} with an € S for all n € N such that lim n = sup S. n→∞ (Hint: Look at Q8 on HW1 and HW2) (b) Suppose sup SS. Show that there exists a strictly monotone increasing se- quence {n} with yn ES for all n € N. (Hint: You may want to approach this problem inductively. Take some y₁ € S, and note that sup S − y₁ > 0 (why?). Use this with HW1 Q8 to find y2, etc... When doing induction, you may want to prove that sup S - yp> 0 for all p = N.) (c) Suppose sup S & S. Show that there exists a countably infinite subset EC S. (Hint: Consider the set {yn: n € N} defined for the sequence {yn} in (b). Can you find some bijection between this set and N?)
