  1. Suppose that x is real number. Prove that x+1/x =2 if and only if x=1.

  2. Prove that there does not exist a smallest positive real number. Is the result still true if we replace ”real number” with ”integer”?

  3. Suppose that x is a real number. Use either proof by contrapositive or proof by contradiction to show that x3 + 5x = 0 implies that x = 0.
