  1. (a) 0, -1


(f) 0, 0

(b) 1, -1


(g) 0, 1, +oo

EXERCISE SET 2.9

(c) +oo, -oo


(h) 1, 0

(d) 1, -1



  1. Redo the proof of Thm. 2.9 .7 , making appropriate changes.


(e) 3, -1



  1. (a) and (b) False. Take { Xn} = {l, 0, 1, 0, · · · } and {yn} = {O, 1, 0, 1, · · · }.
    (c) and (d) False. Take {xn} = {-1, 0, -1, 0, · · · }, {yn} = {O, -1, 0, -1, · · · }.

  2. Redo #6, changing sup to inf, upper bars to lower bars, etc.

  3. Suppose {xn}, {Yn} ~ 0, Xn-> x -j. 0, and lim Yn = y. Then y is a cluster
    n-+oo
    point of {Yn}, so {yn} has a subsequence Ynk -> y. Since Xn , x, Xnk , x. So
    Xnk Ynk -> x y. :. x y is a cluster point of { XnYn}.
    Suppose z is a cluster point of {XnYn}· Then 3 subsequence XmkYmk __, z.


Since x n -> x -j. (^0) ' ...L Xn -> .!. x > so y mk = xmk Xmk Ynmk -> x E.. · · · E. x is a cluster point
of {Yn}· By Thm. 2.9.10, y is the largest cluster point of {yn}, so ; s:; y. i.e.,
z:::; xy. :. xy is the largest cluster point of {xnYn}; i.e., lim XnYn = xy.

EXERCISE SET 3.1



  1. Only (b), (d), and (h) are open.


n-+oo


  1. A^0 is open, since the union of open sets is open. If U is any open subset of
    A, then U is a subset of the union of all open subsets of A; i.e., U ~ A^0 •

  2. (==>) Suppose A is open. Then \:/x EA, ::lex> 0 :::i Nc;x(x) ~A. Then,
    A= LJ Nc;x(x).
    xEA
    ( '*==) The union of any family of open sets is open, by the "open set theorem."

  3. (b) A^0 = (-oo, 0) U (0, 1) A ext= (1, +oo) Ab= {O, l}
    (d) A^0 =(-oo,1) A ext= (1, +oo) Ab= {l}
    (f) A^0 =(-oo, O)U(0,1) Aext=(l, +oo) Ab={O,l}
    (h) A^0 =A Aext = 0 Ab= {1, 2,3}


(j) A^0 = 0 A ext = (-oo,O) U ngl (n~l' ~) U (1,+oo) Ab= A

(1) A^0 = 0 Nxt=(-oo,O)U(l, +oo) Ab=Qn[0,1]



  1. \:/x E JR, every nbd. of x contains irrational numbers, so x rt Q^0 • :. Q^0 = 0.
    \:/x E JR, every nbd. of x contains rational numbers, so x rt Q c^0 • • •• Qext = 0.
    \:/x E JR, every nbd. of x contains both rational and irrational numbers, so
    x E Qb. :. Qb =JR.
