Recall that (a,b)⊆R means an open interval on the real number line:
(a,b)={x∈R|a<x<b}.
Let ≤ be the usual “less than or equal to” total order on the set
A=(−2,0)∪(0,2)
Consider the subset
B={−1/n | n∈N, n≥1}⊆A.
Determine an upper bound for B in A. Then formally prove that B has no least upper bound in A by arguing that every element of A fails the criteria in the definition of least upper bound.
Note:
least upper bound is an upper bound for B⊆A that is less than every other upper bound
