Let a, b r be non-empty sets. suppose that a b. suppose that b has a least upper bound. prove that a has a least upper bound, and lub a lessthanorequalto lub b.

Answer with explanation:

Given → A, B ⊆R, are non-empty sets.

Also, A ⊆ B.

It is also given that , B has least upper bound.

To Prove:→A has a least upper bound,

and → lub A ≤ lub B.

Proof:

    A and B are non empty sets.

Also, A ⊆ B

it means there are some elements in B which is not in A and there are some elements in set B which may be greater or smaller than or equal to set A.

The meaning of least upper bound is the the smallest member of the set from which all members are greater.

As, A⊆B

So, there are two possibilities ,either

→ Least upper bound set A = least upper bound set B(1)

→ Least upper bound set A < least upper bound set B(2)

Combining (1) and (2)

→→→l u b(A) ≤ l u b (B)

I belive the answer is c.) because all you have to do is times all the 8's!

I hope this is right.
