Chapter 3.4, Problem 8E

An alternate version of the Archimedean Principle for the reals has the effect of saying that there are no infinitesimal (infinitely small) real numbers. It says

( ε > 0 ) ( n ) ( 1 n < ε ) .

Prove that the two versions are equivalent.

Ruff, Inc. makes dog food out of chicken and grain. Chicken has 10 grams of protein and 5 grams of fat per ounce, and grain has 2 grams of protein and 2 grams of fat per ounce. A bag of dog food must contain at least 222 grams of protein and at least 162 grams of fat. If chicken costs 11¢ per ounce and grain costs 1¢ per ounce, how many ounces of each should Ruff use in each bag of dog food to minimize cost? (If an answer does not exist, enter DNE.)
Solve the linear system of equations attached using Gaussian elimination (not Gauss-Jordan) and back subsitution. Remember that: A matrix is in row echelon form if Any row that consists only of zeros is at the bottom of the matrix. The first non-zero entry in each other row is 1. This entry is called aleading 1. The leading 1 of each row, after the first row, lies to the right of the leading 1 of the previous row.
7. Show that for R sufficiently large, the polynomial P(z) in Example 3, Sec. 5, satisfies the inequality |P(z)| R. Suggestion: Observe that there is a positive number R such that the modulus of each quotient in inequality (9), Sec. 5, is less than |an|/n when |z| > R.
