Expert Solution
Step 1

As we know that,

1>1-1n  n

Therefore 1 is the upper bound of the set 1-1n:n.

And for each ε>0, by Archimedean Property ,

  N s.t. N1εThen we get 1-1N>1-ε

Therefore 1-ε is not an upper bound for the set for each ε>0.

Therefore, 1 is the greatest upper bound and hence sup(A).
