## Problems

In Problems 1 through 8 find l.u.b. S and g.l.b. S. State whether or not these numbers are in S.

1. \( S = \{ x : 0 < x \leq 3 \} \)

2. \( S = \{ x : x^2 - 3 < 0 \} \)

3. \( S = \{ x : x^2 - 2x - 3 < 0 \} \)

4. \( S = \{ y : y = x/(x + 1), x \geq 0 \} \)

5. \( S = \{ s_n : s_n = \sum_{i=1}^{n} (1/2)^i, n = 1, 2, \ldots \} \)

6. \( S = \{ s_n : s_n = 1 + \sum_{i=1}^{n} ((-1)^i/i!), n = 1, 2, \ldots \} \)

7. \( S = \{ x : 0 < x < 5, \cos x = 0 \} \)

Please solve these problems by finding the least upper bound (l.u.b.) and greatest lower bound (g.l.b.) for each set \( S \). Determine if these bounds are included in the set \( S \).

Expert Solution
Step 1: supremum and infimum of a set

5) Given set is S equals open curly brackets s subscript n semicolon s subscript n equals sum from i equals 1 to n of 1 over 2 to the power of i comma n equals 1 comma 2 comma 3..... close curly brackets

   Noted that s subscript n equals sum from i equals 1 to n of 1 over 2 to the power of i equals 1 half plus 1 over 2 squared plus..... plus 1 over 2 to the power of n equals 1 half. space fraction numerator 1 minus 1 over 2 to the power of n over denominator 1 minus 1 half end fraction equals 1 minus 1 over 2 to the power of n comma n equals 1 comma 2 comma 3 comma....

Thus we have S equals open curly brackets 1 half comma 3 over 4 comma 7 over 8 comma 15 over 16 comma...... close curly brackets

So we claim that 1 half is greast lower bound of S space a n d space 1 spaceis least upper bound of S.
