Example 2.7.7. Since, for all \( x > 0 \)
\[ \frac{d}{dx}\log \left( x\right) = \frac{1}{x} > 0 \] and \[ \frac{{d}^{2}}{d{x}^{2}}\log \left( x\right) = - \frac{1}{{x}^{2}} < 0 \] the function \( y = \log \left( x\right) \) is increasing on \( \left( {0,\infty }\right) \) and its graph is concave downward on \( \left( {0,\infty }\right) \) . See Figure 2.7.2.
Yes
Example 2.7.9. We may now complete the example, discussed in Example 2.5.8 and continued in Example 2.6.19, of finding the length \( L \) of the graph of \( y = {x}^{2} \) over the interval \( \left\lbrack {0,1}\right\rbrack \) .
In those examples we found that\n\n\[ L = {\int }_{0}^{1}\sqrt{1 + 4{x}^{2}}{dx} = \frac{\sqrt{5}}{2} + \frac{1}{4}{\int }_{1}^{2 + \sqrt{5}}\frac{1}{w}{dw}. \]\n\nNow we see that\n\n\[ {\int }_{1}^{2 + \sqrt{5}}\frac{1}{w}{dw} = {\left. \log \left( w\right) \right| }_{1}^{2 + \sqrt{5}} = \log \left( {2 + \sqrt{5}}\rig...
Yes
To evaluate\n\n\[ \n{\int }_{0}^{1}\frac{x}{1 + {x}^{2}}{dx} \n\]
we first make the change of variable\n\n\[ \nu = 1 + {x}^{2} \]\n\n\[ {du} = {2xdx}. \]\n\nThen\n\n\[ \n{\int }_{0}^{1}\frac{x}{1 + {x}^{2}}{dx} = {\left. \frac{1}{2}{\int }_{1}^{2}\frac{1}{u}du = \frac{1}{2}\log \left( u\right) \right| }_{1}^{2} = \frac{\log \left( 2\right) }{2}. \n\]
Yes
Evaluating\n\n\[ \n{\int }_{1}^{10}\log \left( x\right) {dx} \n\]
provides an interesting application of integration by parts. If we let\n\n\[ \nu = \log \left( x\right) \]\n\n\[ {dv} = {dx} \]\n\n\[ {du} = \frac{1}{x}{dx} \]\n\n\[ v = x, \]\n\nthen\n\n\[ \n{\int }_{1}^{10}\log \left( x\right) {dx} = {\left. x\log \left( x\right) \right| }_{1}^{10} - {\int }_{1}^{10}{dx} = {10}\log \...
Yes
Example 2.7.12. We could use the change of variable \( u = {3x} + 2 \) to evaluate\n\n\[ \n{\int }_{0}^{5}\frac{4}{{3x} + 2}{dx} \n\]
\[ \n{\int }_{0}^{5}\frac{4}{{3x} + 2}{dx} = {\left. \frac{4}{3}\log \left( 3x + 2\right) \right| }_{0}^{5} = \frac{4}{3}\left( {\log \left( {17}\right) - \log \left( 2\right) }\right) = \frac{4}{3}\log \left( \frac{17}{2}\right) . \n\]
Yes
Example 2.7.14. Carbon-14 is a naturally occurring radioactive isotope of carbon with a half-life of 5730 years. A living organism will maintain constant levels of carbon-14, which will begin to decay once the organism dies and is buried. Because of this, the amount of carbon-14 in the remains of an organism may be use...
\[ \n{0.14}{y}_{0} = {y}_{0}{e}^{kT} \n\]\n\nwhere, from (2.7.51),\n\n\[ \nk = - \frac{\log \left( 2\right) }{5730} \n\]\n\nIt follows that \( {0.14} = {e}^{kT} \), and so\n\n\[ \n{kT} = \log \left( {0.14}\right) \text{.} \n\]\n\nThus\n\[ \nT = \frac{\log \left( {0.14}\right) }{k} = - \frac{{5730}\log \left( {0.14}\rig...

Example 2.7.15. Suppose that a certain habitat initially holds a population of 1000 deer, and that five years later the population has grown to 1200 deer. If we let \( y \) be the size of the population after \( t \) years, and assuming no constraints on the growth of the population, we would have\n\n\[ y = {1000}{e}^{...
after five more years.
Yes
Example 2.7.16. In our previous example, where \( y \) represented the number of deer in a certain habitat after \( t \) years, we found\n\n\[ k = \frac{\log \left( {1.2}\right) }{5}. \]\n\nNow suppose the habitat can support no more than 20,000 deer. Then the logistic model would give us\n\n\[ z = \frac{\left( {1000}\...
After ten years, this model would predict a population of\n\n\[ z\left( {10}\right) = \frac{20000}{1 + {19}{e}^{-{10k}}} \approx {1409}\text{ deer,}\]
Yes
To evaluate\n\n\\[ \n{\\int }_{0}^{1}\\frac{x}{{x}^{2} - 4}{dx} \n\\]\n\nwe first note that, since \\( {x}^{2} - 4 = \\left( {x - 2}\\right) \\left( {x + 2}\\right) \\), there exist constants \\( A \\) and \\( B \\)\n\nfor which\n\\[ \n\\frac{x}{{x}^{2} - 4} = \\frac{A}{x - 2} + \\frac{B}{x + 2}. \n\\]
It follows that\n\\[ \n\\frac{x}{{x}^{2} - 4} = \\frac{A\\left( {x + 2}\\right) + B\\left( {x - 2}\\right) }{{x}^{2} - 4}, \n\\]\n\nand so\n\n\\[ \nx = A\\left( {x + 2}\\right) + B\\left( {x - 2}\\right) \n\\]\n\nfor all values of \\( x \\) . In particular, when \\( x = 2 \\) we have \\( 2 = {4A} \\), and when \\( x = ...

A number is called perfect iff it is equal to the sum of its proper divisors (i.e., numbers that evenly divide it but aren't identical to the number). For instance, 6 is perfect because its proper divisors are 1,2, and 3, and 6 = \( 1 + 2 + 3 \) . In fact,6 is the only positive integer less than 10 that is perfect. So,...
\[ \{ 6\} = \{ x : x\text{ is perfect and }0 \leq x \leq {10}\} \] We read the notation on the right as \
Yes
Every set is a subset of itself, and \( \varnothing \) is a subset of every set.
The set of even numbers is a subset of the set of natural numbers. Also, \( \{ a, b\} \subseteq \) \( \{ a, b, c\} \) . But \( \{ a, b, e\} \) is not a subset of \( \{ a, b, c\} \) .
No
Extensionality gives a criterion of identity for sets: \( A = B \) iff every element of \( A \) is also an element of \( B \) and vice versa.
The definition of \
No
What are all the possible subsets of \( \{ a, b, c\} \) ?
They are: \( \varnothing \) , \( \{ a\} ,\{ b\} ,\{ c\} ,\{ a, b\} ,\{ a, c\} ,\{ b, c\} ,\{ a, b, c\} \) . The set of all these subsets is \( \wp \left( {\{ a, b, c\} }\right) \) :\n\n\[ \wp \left( {\{ a, b, c\} }\right) = \{ \varnothing ,\{ a\} ,\{ b\} ,\{ c\} ,\{ a, b\} ,\{ b, c\} ,\{ a, c\} ,\{ a, b, c\} \}
Yes
Example 1.16. Since the multiplicity of elements doesn't matter, the union of two sets which have an element in common contains that element only once, e.g., \( \{ a, b, c\} \cup \{ a,0,1\} = \{ a, b, c,0,1\} \) .
The union of a set and one of its subsets is just the bigger set: \( \{ a, b, c\} \cup \) \( \{ a\} = \{ a, b, c\} . \n\nThe union of a set with the empty set is identical to the set: \( \{ a, b, c\} \cup \varnothing = \) \( \{ a, b, c\} \) .
No
Example 1.25. If \( A = \{ 0,1\} \), and \( B = \{ 1, a, b\} \), then their product is
\[ A \times B = \{ \langle 0,1\rangle ,\langle 0, a\rangle ,\langle 0, b\rangle ,\langle 1,1\rangle ,\langle 1, a\rangle ,\langle 1, b\rangle \} . \]
Yes
If \( A \) is a set, the product of \( A \) with itself, \( A \times A \), is also written \( {A}^{2} \). It is the set of all pairs \( \langle x, y\rangle \) with \( x, y \in A \). The set of all triples \( \langle x, y, z\rangle \) is \( {A}^{3} \), and so on. We can give a recursive definition:
\[ {A}^{1} = A \] \[ {A}^{k + 1} = {A}^{k} \times A \]
Yes
Proposition 1.27. If \( A \) has \( n \) elements and \( B \) has \( m \) elements, then \( A \times B \) has \( n \cdot m \) elements.
Proof. For every element \( x \) in \( A \), there are \( m \) elements of the form \( \langle x, y\rangle \in \) \( A \times B \) . Let \( {B}_{x} = \{ \langle x, y\rangle : y \in B\} \) . Since whenever \( {x}_{1} \neq {x}_{2},\left\langle {{x}_{1}, y}\right\rangle \neq \left\langle {{x}_{2}, y}\right\rangle \) , \( ...
Yes
Theorem 1.29 (Russell’s Paradox). There is no set \( R = \{ x : x \notin x\} \).
Proof. For reductio, suppose that \( R = \{ x : x \notin x\} \) exists. Then \( R \in R \) iff \( R \notin R \), since sets are extensional. But this is a contradicion.
Yes
The set \( {\mathbb{N}}^{2} \) of pairs of natural numbers can be listed in a 2-dimensional matrix like this:
\[ \langle \mathbf{0},\mathbf{0}\rangle \;\langle 0,1\rangle \;\langle 0,2\rangle \;\langle 0,3\rangle \;\ldots \] \[ \langle 1,0\rangle \;\langle \mathbf{1},\mathbf{1}\rangle \;\langle 1,2\rangle \;\langle 1,3\rangle \;\ldots \] \[ \langle 2,0\rangle \;\langle 2,1\rangle \;\langle \mathbf{2},\mathbf{2}\rangle \;\langl...

Proposition 2.12. If \( R \subseteq {A}^{2} \) is an equivalence relation, then \( {Rxy} \) iff \( {\left\lbrack x\right\rbrack }_{R} = {\left\lbrack y\right\rbrack }_{R} \) .
Proof. For the left-to-right direction, suppose \( {Rxy} \), and let \( z \in {\left\lbrack x\right\rbrack }_{R} \) . By definition, then, \( {Rxz} \) . Since \( R \) is an equivalence relation, \( {Ryz} \) . (Spelling this out: as \( {Rxy} \) and \( R \) is symmetric we have \( {Ryx} \), and as \( {Rxz} \) and \( R \)...
Yes
A nice example of equivalence relations comes from modular arithmetic. For any \( a, b \), and \( n \in \mathbb{N} \), say that \( a{ \equiv }_{n}b \) iff dividing \( a \) by \( n \) gives remainder \( b \) . (Somewhat more symbolically: \( a{ \equiv }_{n}b \) iff \( \left( {\exists k \in \mathbb{N}}\right) a - b = {kn...
And there are exactly \( n \) distinct equivalence classes generated by \( { \equiv }_{n} \) ; that is, \( \mathbb{N}/{ \equiv }_{n} \) has \( n \) elements. These are: the set of numbers divisible by \( n \) without remainder, i.e., \( {\left\lbrack 0\right\rbrack }_{{ \equiv }_{n}} \) ; the set of numbers divisible b...
Yes
Consider the no longer than relation \( \preccurlyeq \) on \( {\mathbb{B}}^{ * } : x \preccurlyeq y \) iff \( \operatorname{len}\left( x\right) \leq \) len \( \left( y\right) \) .
This is a preorder (reflexive and transitive), and even connected, but not a partial order, since it is not anti-symmetric. For instance, \( {01} \preccurlyeq {10} \) and \( {10} \preccurlyeq {01} \), but \( {01} \neq {10} \).
Yes
Proposition 2.25. If \( R \) is a strict order on \( A \), then \( {R}^{ + } = R \cup {\operatorname{Id}}_{A} \) is a partial order. Moreover, if \( R \) is total, then \( {R}^{ + } \) is a linear order.
Proof. Suppose \( R \) is a strict order, i.e., \( R \subseteq {A}^{2} \) and \( R \) is irreflexive, asymmetric, and transitive. Let \( {R}^{ + } = R \cup {\operatorname{Id}}_{A} \) . We have to show that \( {R}^{ + } \) is reflexive, antisymmetric, and transitive.\n\n\( {R}^{ + } \) is clearly reflexive, since \( \la...
Yes
Proposition 2.26. If \( R \) is a partial order on \( X \), then \( {R}^{ - } = R \smallsetminus {\operatorname{Id}}_{X} \) is a strict order. Moreover, if \( R \) is linear, then \( {R}^{ - } \) is total.
Proof. This is left as an exercise.
No
Proposition 2.28. If \( < \) totally orders \( A \), then:\n\n\[ \left( {\forall a, b \in A}\right) \left( {\left( {\forall x \in A}\right) \left( {x < a \leftrightarrow x < b}\right) \rightarrow a = b}\right) \]
Proof. Suppose \( \left( {\forall x \in A}\right) \left( {x < a \leftrightarrow x < b}\right) \) . If \( a < b \), then \( a < a \), contradicting the fact that \( < \) is irreflexive; so \( a \nless b \) . Exactly similarly, \( b \nless a \) . So \( a = b \), as \( < \) is connected.
Yes
Example 3.3. Multiplication is a function because it pairs each input-each pair of natural numbers-with a single output: \( \times : {\mathbb{N}}^{2} \rightarrow \mathbb{N} \) .
By contrast, the square root operation applied to the domain \( \mathbb{N} \) is not functional, since each positive integer \( n \) has two square roots: \( \sqrt{n} \) and \( - \sqrt{n} \) . We can make it functional by only returning the positive square root: \( \sqrt{} : \mathbb{N} \rightarrow \mathbb{R} \) .
Yes
Example 3.5. Let \( f : \mathbb{N} \rightarrow \mathbb{N} \) be defined such that \( f\left( x\right) = x + 1 \). This is a definition that specifies \( f \) as a function which takes in natural numbers and outputs natural numbers. It tells us that, given a natural number \( x, f \) will output its successor \( x + 1 \...
In this case, the codomain \( \mathbb{N} \) is not the range of \( f \) , since the natural number 0 is not the successor of any natural number. The range of \( f \) is the set of all positive integers, \( {\mathbb{Z}}^{ + } \).
Yes
Let \( g : \mathbb{N} \rightarrow \mathbb{N} \) be defined such that \( g\left( x\right) = x + 2 - 1 \) . This tells us that \( g \) is a function which takes in natural numbers and outputs natural numbers. Given a natural number \( n, g \) will output the predecessor of the successor of the successor of \( x \), i.e.,...
We just considered two functions, \( f \) and \( g \), with different definitions. However, these are the same function. After all, for any natural number \( n \), we have that \( f\left( n\right) = n + 1 = n + 2 - 1 = g\left( n\right) \) . Otherwise put: our definitions for \( f \) and \( g \) specify the same mapping...
Yes
We can also define functions by cases. For instance, we could define \( h : \mathbb{N} \rightarrow \mathbb{N} \) by\n\n\[ h\left( x\right) = \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} \frac{x}{2} & \text{ if }x\text{ is even } \\ \frac{x + 1}{2} & \text{ if }x\text{ is odd. } \end{array}\right. \]
Since every natural number is either even or odd, the output of this function will always be a natural number. Just remember that if you define a function by cases, every possible input must fall into exactly one case.
Yes
Proposition 3.13. Let \( R \subseteq A \times B \) be such that:\n\n1. If \( {Rxy} \) and \( {Rxz} \) then \( y = z \) ; and\n\n2. for every \( x \in A \) there is some \( y \in B \) such that \( \langle x, y\rangle \in R \) .\n\nThen \( R \) is the graph of the function \( f : A \rightarrow B \) defined by \( f\left( ...
Proof. Suppose there is a \( y \) such that \( {Rxy} \) . If there were another \( z \neq y \) such that \( {Rxz} \), the condition on \( R \) would be violated. Hence, if there is a \( y \) such that \( {Rxy} \), this \( y \) is unique, and so \( f \) is well-defined. Obviously, \( {R}_{f} = R \) .
Yes
Proposition 3.16. Every bijection has a unique inverse.
Proof. Exercise.
No
Proposition 3.17. Every function \( f \) has at most one inverse.
Proof. Exercise.
No
Consider the functions \( f\left( x\right) = x + 1 \), and \( g\left( x\right) = {2x} \). Since \( \left( {g \circ f}\right) \left( x\right) = g\left( {f\left( x\right) }\right) \), for each input \( x \) you must first take its successor, then multiply the result by two. So their composition is given by \( \left( {g \...
Since \( \left( {g \circ f}\right) \left( x\right) = g\left( {f\left( x\right) }\right) \), for each input \( x \) you must first take its successor, then multiply the result by two. So their composition is given by \( \left( {g \circ f}\right) \left( x\right) = \) \( 2\left( {x + 1}\right) \).

Proposition 3.24. Suppose \( R \subseteq A \times B \) has the property that whenever \( {Rxy} \) and \( {Rx}{y}^{\prime } \) then \( y = {y}^{\prime } \) . Then \( R \) is the graph of the partial function \( f : X \rightarrow Y \) defined by: if there is a \( y \) such that \( {Rxy} \), then \( f\left( x\right) = y \...
Proof. Suppose there is a \( y \) such that \( {Rxy} \) . If there were another \( {y}^{\prime } \neq y \) such that \( {Rx}{y}^{\prime } \), the condition on \( R \) would be violated.

Proposition 4.2. If \( A \) has an enumeration, it has an enumeration without repetitions.
Proof. Suppose \( A \) has an enumeration \( {x}_{1},{x}_{2},\ldots \) in which each \( {x}_{i} \) is an element of \( A \) . We can remove repetitions from an enumeration by removing repeated elements. For instance, we can turn the enumeration into a new one in which we list \( {x}_{i} \) if it is an element of \( A \...

The function \( f\left( n\right) = {\left( -1\right) }^{n}\left\lceil \frac{\left( n - 1\right) }{2}\right\rceil \) (where \( \lceil x\rceil \) denotes the ceiling function, which rounds \( x \) up to the nearest integer) enumerates the set of integers \( \mathbb{Z} \).
Notice how \( f \) generates the values of \( \mathbb{Z} \) by \
No
Proposition 4.8. There is a surjection \( f : {\mathbb{Z}}^{ + } \rightarrow A \) iff there is a surjection \( g : \mathbb{N} \rightarrow \) A.
Proof. Given a surjection \( f : {\mathbb{Z}}^{ + } \rightarrow A \), we can define \( g\left( n\right) = f\left( {n + 1}\right) \) for all \( n \in \mathbb{N} \) . It is easy to see that \( g : \mathbb{N} \rightarrow A \) is surjective. Conversely, given a surjection \( g : \mathbb{N} \rightarrow A \), define \( f\lef...
Yes
Proposition 4.10. If \( f : {\mathbb{Z}}^{ + } \rightarrow A \) is surjective (i.e., an enumeration of \( A \) ), there is a bijection \( g : Z \rightarrow A \) where \( Z \) is either \( {\mathbb{Z}}^{ + } \) or \( \{ 1,\ldots, n\} \) for some \( n \in {\mathbb{Z}}^{ + } \) .
Proof. We define the function \( g \) recursively: Let \( g\left( 1\right) = f\left( 1\right) \) . If \( g\left( i\right) \) has already been defined, let \( g\left( {i + 1}\right) \) be the first value of \( f\left( 1\right), f\left( 2\right) ,\ldots \) not already among \( g\left( 1\right) ,\ldots, g\left( i\right) \...

Corollary 4.11. A set \( A \) is enumerable iff it is empty or there is a bijection \( f : N \rightarrow \) \( A \) where either \( N = \mathbb{N} \) or \( N = \{ 0,\ldots, n\} \) for some \( n \in \mathbb{N} \) .
Proof. \( A \) is enumerable iff \( A \) is empty or there is a surjective \( f : {\mathbb{Z}}^{ + } \rightarrow A \) . By Proposition 4.10, the latter holds iff there is a bijective function \( f : Z \rightarrow A \) where \( Z = {\mathbb{Z}}^{ + } \) or \( Z = \{ 1,\ldots, n\} \) for some \( n \in {\mathbb{Z}}^{ + } ...

Proposition 4.12. \( \mathbb{N} \times \mathbb{N} \) is enumerable.
Proof. Let \( f : \mathbb{N} \rightarrow \mathbb{N} \times \mathbb{N} \) take each \( k \in \mathbb{N} \) to the tuple \( \langle n, m\rangle \in \mathbb{N} \times \mathbb{N} \) such that \( k \) is the value of the \( n \) th row and \( m \) th column in Cantor’s zig-zag array. \( ▱ \)
No
Proposition 4.13. \( {\mathbb{N}}^{n} \) is enumerable, for every \( n \in \mathbb{N} \) .
Cantor’s zig-zag method makes the enumerability of \( {\mathbb{N}}^{n} \) visually evident. But let us focus on our array depicting \( {\mathbb{N}}^{2} \) . Following the zig-zag line in the array and counting the places, we can check that \( \langle 1,2\rangle \) is associated with the number 7. However, it would be n...

The function \( h : {\mathbb{N}}^{2} \rightarrow \mathbb{N} \) given by\n\n\[ h\left( {n, m}\right) = {2}^{n}\left( {{2m} + 1}\right) - 1 \]\n\nis a pairing function for the set of pairs of natural numbers \( {\mathbb{N}}^{2} \) .
Accordingly, in our second enumeration of \( {\mathbb{N}}^{2} \), the pair \( \langle 0,0\rangle \) has code \( h\left( {0,0}\right) = {2}^{0}\left( {2 \cdot 0 + 1}\right) - 1 = 0;\langle 1,2\rangle \) has code \( {2}^{1} \cdot \left( {2 \cdot 2 + 1}\right) - 1 = 2 \cdot 5 - 1 = 9 \) ; \( \langle 2,6\rangle \) has code...

Proposition 4.21. If \( A \approx B \), then \( A \) is enumerable if and only if \( B \) is.
Proof. Suppose \( A \approx B \), so there is some bijection \( f : A \rightarrow B \), and suppose that \( A \) is enumerable. Then either \( A = \varnothing \) or there is a surjective function \( g : {\mathbb{Z}}^{ + } \rightarrow \) \( A \) . If \( A = \varnothing \), then \( B = \varnothing \) also (otherwise ther...

Theorem 4.24 (Cantor). \( A \prec \wp \left( A\right) \), for any set \( A \) .
Proof. The map \( f\left( x\right) = \{ x\} \) is an injection \( f : A \rightarrow \wp \left( A\right) \), since if \( x \neq y \) , then also \( \{ x\} \neq \{ y\} \) by extensionality, and so \( f\left( x\right) \neq f\left( y\right) \) . So we have that \( A \preccurlyeq \wp \left( A\right) \) . We show that there ...

Theorem 4.31. \( {\mathbb{B}}^{\omega } \) is non-enumerable.
Proof. Consider any enumeration of a subset of \( {\mathbb{B}}^{\omega } \) . So we have some list \( {s}_{0} \) , \( {s}_{1},{s}_{2},\ldots \) where every \( {s}_{n} \) is an infinite string of \( {0}^{\prime }\mathrm{s} \) and \( {1}^{\prime }\mathrm{s} \) .

Theorem 4.32. \( \wp \left( \mathbb{N}\right) \) is not enumerable.
Proof. We proceed in the same way, by showing that every list of subsets of \( \mathbb{N} \) omits some subset of \( \mathbb{N} \) . So, suppose that we have some list \( {N}_{0},{N}_{1},{N}_{2},\ldots \) of subsets of \( \mathbb{N} \) . We define a set \( D \) as follows: \( n \in D \) iff \( n \notin {N}_{n} \) :\n\n...

Theorem 5.4. \( \sqrt{2} \) is not rational, i.e., \( \sqrt{2} \notin \mathbb{Q} \)
Proof. Suppose, for reductio, that \( \sqrt{2} \) is rational. So \( \sqrt{2} = m/n \) for some natural numbers \( m \) and \( n \) . Indeed, we can choose \( m \) and \( n \) so that the fraction cannot be reduced any further. Re-organising, \( {m}^{2} = 2{n}^{2} \) . From here, we can complete the proof in two ways:\...

Proof. Let \( S \) be any non-empty set of cuts with an upper bound. Let \( \lambda = \bigcup S \) . We first claim that \( \lambda \) is a cut: 1.

Theorem 5.12. Every non-empty set of Cauchy sequences with an upper bound has a least upper bound.
Proof sketch. Let \( S \) be any non-empty set of Cauchy sequences with an upper bound. So there is some \( p \in \mathbb{Q} \) such that \( {p}_{\mathbb{R}} \) is an upper bound for \( S \) . Let \( r \in S \) ; then there is some \( q \in \mathbb{Q} \) such that \( {q}_{\mathbb{R}} < r \) . So if a least upper bound ...

Lemma 6.3.
