- Let
and be bounded non-empty sets. Which of the following statements would be equivalent to saying that ?
- For every
and there exists an such that .
- For every
there exists an such that .
- PARTIALLY. This will imply that
but is not necessary (can you think of a counterexample?).
- For every
there exists a such that .
- There exists
and such that .

is the empty set.
- For every real number
and every , we have .
- There exists an
such that for every real number .

and every , we have .
- CORRECT. This answer is technically correct, but there is a simpler way to state it.
- There exists an
such that for every real number .
- Let
be a non-empty set. If is not bounded, this means that
- For every real number
, there exists an such that .
- For every positive number
, there exists an such that , and for every negative number , there exists such that .
and .
and .
- For every real number
, there exists an such that .
- There exists an
such that for every real number .
- There exists a real number
such that for every .
- Let
and be bounded non-empty sets. Which of the following statements would be equivalent to saying that ?
- For every
and every , we have .
- For every
and every , we have . Also, for every , there exists and such that .
- For every
, there exists and such that .
- There exists a real number
such that for all and .
- There exists
and such that . However, for any , there does not exist and for which .
- For every
there exists a such that .
- For every
there exists a such that . Also, for every there exists an such that .
- Let
be a set, and let be a real number. If , this means that
for every . Also, for every , there exists an such that .
for every .
- There exists an
such that every real number a between and lies in .
- Every number less than
lies in , and every number greater than does not lie in .
lies in , and is larger than every other element of .
- INCORRECT. This implies that
, but is not necessary.
- There exists a sequence
of elements in which converges to .
- There exists a sequence
of elements in which are less than , but converges to .
- Let
be a set, and let be a real number. If , this means that
for every . Also, for every , there exists an such that .
