1. Let α < β be real numbers and N ∈ N.
(a). Show that if β − α > N then there are at least N
distinct integers strictly between β and α.
(b). Show that if β > α are real numbers then there is a
rational number q ∈ Q such β > q > α.

2. Let x, y, z be real numbers.The absolute value of x is defined by
|x|= x, if x ≥ 0 ,
−x, if x < 0
Define the following statements. Assume that the product of two positive real numbers is positive.
(a). Show that |x−y| = |y−x|.
(b). Show that if z<0 and x ≤ y, then zy ≤ zx.
(c). Show that |x+y| ≤ |x|+|y|.
