Example Question #5 : The Real Number System

Determine whether the following statement is true or false:

If  is a nonempty subset of , then  has a finite infimum and it is an element of .

Possible Answers:

True

False

Correct answer:

True

Explanation:

According to the Well-Ordered Principal this statement is true. The following proof illuminate its truth.

Suppose  is nonempty. From there, it is known that  is bounded above, by .

Therefore, by the Completeness Axiom the supremum of  exists.

Furthermore, if  has a supremum, then , thus in this particular case .

Thus by the Reflection Principal,

 

exists and 

.

Therefore proving the statement in question true.

Example Question #1 : Sequences In Real Numbers (R)

What term does the following define.

A sequence of sets  is __________ if and only if .

Possible Answers:

Increasing

Decreasing

Unbounded

Nested

Bounded

Correct answer:

Nested

Explanation:

This statement:

A sequence of sets  is __________ if and only if 

is the definition of nested.

This means that the sequence  for all  elements, for which  belongs to the natural numbers, is considered a nested set if and only if the subsequent sets are subsets of it. 

Other theorems in intro analysis build off this understanding.

Example Question #1 : Intro Analysis

Determine whether the following statement is true or false:

Let , and . If  and  then .

Possible Answers:

True

False

Correct answer:

False

Explanation:

Determine this statement is false by showing a contradiction when actual values are used.

Let 

First make sure the inequalities hold true.

 

and

Now find the products.

Therefore, the statement is false.

Example Question #1 : Riemann Integral, Riemann Sums, & Improper Riemann Integration

What conditions are necessary to prove that the upper and lower integrals of a bounded function exist?

Possible Answers:

,  and  be bounded

,  and  be bounded

,  and  be bounded

,  and 

,  and 

Correct answer:

,  and  be bounded

Explanation:

Using the definition for Riemann sums to define the upper and lower integrals of a function answers the question.

According the the Riemann sum where  represents the upper integral and  the following are defined:

1. The upper integral of  on  is

 where  is a partition of .

2. The lower integral of  on  is

where  is a partition of .

3. If 1 and 2 are the same then the integral is said to be

if and only if ,  and  be bounded.

Therefore the necessary condition for the proving the upper and lower integrals of a bounded function exists is if and only if ,  and  be bounded.

Example Question #2 : Riemann Integral, Riemann Sums, & Improper Riemann Integration

What term has the following definition.

 and . Over the interval  is a set of points  such that

Possible Answers:

Partition

Norm

Refinement of a partition

Lower Riemann sum

Upper Riemann sum

Correct answer:

Partition

Explanation:

By definition 

If  and .

A partition over the interval  is a set of points  such that

.

Therefore, the term that describes this statement is partition.

Example Question #3 : Riemann Integral, Riemann Sums, & Improper Riemann Integration

What term has the following definition.

The __________ of a partition   is

Possible Answers:

Refinement of a partition

Norm

Lower Riemann sum

Partition

Upper Riemann Sum

Correct answer:

Norm

Explanation:

By definition 

If  and .

A partition over the interval  is a set of points  such that

.

Furthermore, 

The norm of the partition 

 is

Therefore, the term that describes this statement is norm.
