Let A be an infinite set and let B ⊆ A be a subset. Prove: (a) Assume A has a denumerable subset, show that A is equivalent to a proper subset of A. (b) Show that if A is denumerable and B is infinite then B is equivalent to A.

Let A be a subset of all Real Numbers. Prove that A is closed and bounded...

Let A be a subset of all Real Numbers. Prove that A is closed and bounded (I.e. compact) if and only if every sequence of numbers from A has a subsequence that converges to a point in A. Given it is an if and only if I know we need to do a forward and backwards proof. For the backwards proof I was thinking of approaching it via contrapositive, but I am having a hard time writing the proof in...
