Are the following statements true or false? If true give a proof, and if false give a counter-example:

(a)Consider a continuous function f : (0, 1) → R and a Cauchy sequence Xn ∈ (0, 1).Then f(Xn) is also Cauchy.

(b)If Xn <a and limn→∞: Xn =l, then l<a.

(c) For an, bn ∈ R, consider a sequence of open intervals In = (an, bn).

 

If In+1 C In then ſn=1 In = 0.
Transcribed Image Text:If In+1 C In then ſn=1 In = 0.
Expert Solution
Step 1

Given that the following statements 

a) Consider a continuous function f : (0, 1)  R and a Cauchy sequenceXn  (0, 1). Thenf(Xn) is also Cauchy.

(b)If Xnand limnXn=l, then l<a.

(c) Foran,bnR, consider a sequence of open intervals In=(an,bn)

If In+1In then n=1nIn=
