A function \(f\) defined on an interval \(I=\\{x: a \leqslant x \leqslant b\\}\) is called increasing \(\Leftrightarrow\) \(f\left(x_{1}\right)>f\left(x_{2}\right)\) whenever \(x_{1}>x_{2}\) where \(x_{1}, x_{2} \in I\). Suppose that \(f\) has the intermediate-value property: that is, for each number \(c\) between \(f(a)\) and \(f(b)\) there is an \(x_{0} \in I\) such that \(f\left(x_{0}\right)=c\). Show that a function \(f\) which is increasing and has the intermediate-value property must be continuous.
\(x_{n}=1+\left((-1)^{n} / n\right)\)
Suppose that \(f\) is a continuous, increasing function on a closed interval \(I=\) \(\\{x: a \leqslant x \leqslant b\\}\). Show that the range of \(f\) is the interval \([f(a), f(b)]\)
The sequence $$ 1 \frac{1}{2}, 2 \frac{1}{2}, 3 \frac{1}{2}, 1 \frac{1}{3}, 2 \frac{1}{3}, 3 \frac{1}{3}, 1 \frac{1}{4}, 2 \frac{1}{4}, 3 \frac{1}{4}, \ldots $$ has subsequences which converge to the numbers 1,2 , and 3 . (a) Write a sequence which has subsequences which converge to \(N\) different numbers where \(N\) is any positive integer. (*b) Write a sequence which has subsequences which converge to infinitely many different numbers.
Given the function $$ f: x \rightarrow \begin{cases}1 & \text { if } x \text { is rational } \\ 0 & \text { if } x \text { is irrational }\end{cases} $$ (a) Show that \(f\) is not continuous at any \(x_{0}\). (b) If \(g\) is a function with domain all of \(\mathbb{R}^{1}\), if \(g(x)=1\) if \(x\) is rational, and if \(g\) is continuous for all \(x\), show that \(g(x) \equiv 1\) for \(x \in \mathbb{R}^{1}\).
