Tutorials – Analysis I

(Section 1)

(1) If A is a set with m elements and B is a set with n elements and if A ∩ B = ∅ then
show that A ∪ B has m + n elements.

(2) State and prove triangle inequality and show that:

| |a| − |b| | ≤ |a − b| for all a, b ∈ R.

(3) If a, b ∈ R, show that |a + b| = |a| + |b| if and only if a.b ≥ 0

(4) Let a, b, c be any elements of R.


(i) If a > b and b > c, then a > c.
(ii) If a > b, then a + c > b + c.
(iii) If a > b and c > 0, then ca > cb.

(5) Find all x that satisfy the inequality

4 < |x + 2| + |x − 1| < 5.

(6) Let a ∈ R, show that the intersection and union of any two neighbourhoods of a are
again a neighbourhoods of a.

(7) If y > 0, show that there exists n ∈ N such that

1/2n < y.

Justify each step by referring to an appropriate property or theorem.

(8) Let S be a bounded subset of R. For some scalar λ ∈ R, define λS = {λs : s ∈ S}. If
λ < 0, prove that

sup(λS) = λinf S and inf(λS) = λsup S.

(9) Define bounded below and bounded above sets. Give examples of the set which are:
(i) Bounded above but not bounded below.
(ii) Bounded below but not bounded above.
(iii) Neither bounded above nor bounded below.

(10) Show that there exist a positive real number x such that x2 = 2.

(11) Show that:

: n ∈ N} = 1.

2

(ii) inf{1 + n
: n ∈ N} = 1.

(12) Let S be a nonempty subset of R that is bounded above, and let a be any number in
R. If a + S = {a + s : s ∈ S} then prove that:

sup(a + S) = a + sup S.

(13) Show that ’0’ is only limit point of the set {1/n : n ∈ N}.

(14) If S ⊆ R is a nonempty bounded set and I = [inf S, sup S], show that S ⊆ I. Moreover,
if J is any closed and bounded interval containing S, show that I ⊆ J.

(15) If x and y are two real numbers with 0 < x < y, then prove that there exists an irra-
tional number z such that x < z < y.

(16) State and prove the Density Theorem.


(17) Suppose A and B are two non-empty bounded subsets of R and

A + B = {a + b : a ∈ A, b ∈ B}.
Prove that:
sup(A + B) = sup A + sup B.
(18) (i) If x ∈ R, show that there exists n ∈ N such that

x < n.

n − 1 ≤ x < n.

(19) Define limit point of a set. Find limit points of [0, 1].

(20) Define limit point of a set in R. Determine the set of all limit points of the set of integers.

(21) State the Completeness Property of R. Show that if A and B are two non-empty bounded
subsets of R, then:

sup(A ∪ B) = sup{sup A, sup B}.

(22) Prove that a real number x is a limit point of the set S if and only if every neibourhood
of x contains infinite many distinct points of S.
