Let \(S \subseteq \mathbb{R}\) be nonempty. Show that if \(u=\sup S\), then for every number \(n \in \mathbb{N}\) the number \(u-1 / n\) is not an upper bound of \(S\), but the number \(u+1 / n\) is an upper bound of \(S\). (The converse is also true; see Exercise 2.4.3.)
Let \(S\) be a nonempty subset of \(\mathbb{R}\) that is bounded below. Prove that inf \(S=-\sup \\{-s: s \in S\\}\).
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 \(U \cap V=\emptyset\)
Modify the argument in Theorem \(2.4 .7\) to show that there exists a positive real number \(y\) such that \(y^{2}=3\)
Determine and sketch the set of pairs \((x, y)\) in \(\mathbb{R} \times \mathbb{R}\) that satisfy: (a) \(|x|=|y|\), (b) \(|x|+|y|=1\), (c) \(|x y|=2\) (d) \(|x|-|y|=2\).
