Question

my question is 11.11 in picture, another is hint .

please use (1)in the hint, you should use “contruction by induction”

 

10.7 : Let S be a bounded nonempty subset of R such that sup S is not in S. Prove there is a sequence (sn) of points in S such that lim sn = supS.

11.11 Let t = sup S. There are several ways to prove the result. (1)
Provide an inductive definition where Sk≥ max{sk-1,t - } for
all k.
