Determine and sketch the set of pairs \((x, y)\) in \(\mathbb{R} \times \mathbb{R}\) that satisfy: (a) \(|x| \leq|y|\), (b) \(|x|+|y| \leq 1\), (c) \(|x y| \leq 2\), (d) \(|x|-|y| \geq 2\).
Show that if \(a, b \in \mathbb{R}\), and \(a \neq b\), then there exist \(\varepsilon\) -neighborhoods \(U\) of \(a\) and \(V\) of \(b\) such that \(U \cap V=\emptyset\)
Let \(S \subseteq \mathbb{R}\) be nonempty. Show that \(u \in \mathbb{R}\) is an upper bound of \(S\) if and only if the conditions \(t \in \mathbb{R}\) and \(t>u\) imply that \(t \notin S\).
Let \(S\) be a bounded set in \(\mathbb{R}\) and let \(S_{0}\) be a nonempty subset of \(S .\) Show that inf \(S \leq\) inf \(S_{0} \leq\) \(\sup S_{0} \leq \sup S\)
If \(S:=\\{1 / n-1 / m: n, m \in \mathbb{N}\\}\), find inf \(S\) and \(\sup S\).
