Let X be the set of all subsets of R whose complement is a
finite set in R:

a) Show that T is a topological structure no R.
b) Prove that (R, X) is connected.
c) Prove that (R, X) is compact.
Let Ω be any set and let F be the collection of all subsets of Ω
that are either countable or have a countable complement. (Recall
that a set is countable if it is either finite or can be placed in
one-to-one correspondence with the natural numbers N = {1, 2, . .
.}.)
(a) Show that F is a σ-algebra.
(b) Show that the set function given by
μ(E)= 0 if E is countable ;
μ(E) = ∞ otherwise...
Suppose a function f : R → R is continuous with f(0) = 1. Show
that if there is a positive number x0 for which
f(x0) = 0, then there is a smallest positive number p
for which f(p) = 0. (Hint: Consider the set {x | x > 0, f(x) =
0}.)
6.3.8. Problem. Let f : A → B be a continuous bijection
between subsets of R.
(a) Show by example that f need not be a homeomorphism.
(b) Show that if A is compact, then f must be a
homeomorphism.
6.3.9. Problem. Find in Q a set which is both relatively
closed and bounded but which is not compact.
Let f: [0 1] → R be a function of the class c ^ 2 that
satisfies the differential equation f '' (x) = e^xf(x) for all x in
(0,1). Show that if x0 is in (0,1) then f can not have a positive
local maximum at x0 and can not have a negative local minimum at
x0. If f (0) = f (1) = 0, prove that f = 0
5). Let f : [a,b] to R be bounded and f(x) > a > 0, for
all x in [a,b]. Show that if f is Riemann integrable on [a,b] then
1/f : [a,b] to R, (1/f) (x) = 1/f(x) is also Riemann integrable on
[a,b].
2. Let f(x) ≥ 0 on [1, 2] and suppose that f is integrable on
[1, 2] with R 2 1 f(x)dx = 2 3 . Prove that f(x 2 ) is integrable

Let A and B be two non empty bounded subsets of R:
1) Let A +B = { x+y/ x ∈ A and y ∈ B} show that sup(A+B)= sup A
+ sup B
2) For c ≥ 0, let cA= { cx /x ∈ A} show that sup cA = c sup
A
hint:( show c supA is a U.B for cA and show if l < csupA then
l is not U.B)
Let f(x, y) be a function such that f(0, 0) = 1, f(0, 1) = 2,
f(1, 0) = 3, f(1, 1) = 5, f(2, 0) = 5, f(2, 1) = 10. Determine the
Lagrange interpolation F(x, y) that interpolates the above data.
Use Lagrangian bi-variate interpolation to solve this and also show
the working steps.
