Transcribed Image Text:**Exercise 1.1.9**
Let \( A, B \subset \mathbb{R} \) be non-empty bounded sets such that \( B \subset A \). Suppose that for all \( x \in A \), there exists a \( y \in B \) such that \( x \geq y \). Show that \( \inf B = \inf A \).
**Hint:** You may find the following variant of Proposition 1.2.8 helpful: If \( S \subset \mathbb{R} \) is a nonempty bounded below set, then for every \( \varepsilon > 0 \) there exists \( x \in S \) such that \(\inf S \leq x < \inf S + \varepsilon\).
