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...
