Exercise 6.5 Solution: If $a=0$, for any $\e >0$ and any $x_0\in\ R$, and any $\delta >0$, we have\[|f(x)-f(x_0)|=|b-b|=0 < \e\] for all $|x-x_0|<\delta$. Hence $f$ is continuous at $x_0$.…

Exercise 5.1 Solution: (a) Closed. As it has no limit points, $\mathbb Z$ is closed. Clearly, it is not open. $\mathbb Z$ is not compact since $\mathbb Z$ is not…

Exercise 4.1 Solution: (1) Converges conditionally. It is convergent by Alternating Series Test. But $\sum_{k=1}^\infty\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{k}}$ is divergent by Proposition 4.16. (2) Converges absolutely. By Geometric Series Test and the fact…

Exercise 3.1 Solution: Let $\e=0.001$. Because $(a_n)$ converges to $0.001$, there exist $N$ such that for all $n> N$ we have\[|a_n-0.001| < 0.001,\]\[\Longrightarrow -0.001 < a_n- 0.001 < 0.001,\]\[\Longrightarrow 0<…

Exercise 1.8 Solution: (a) Because $a < b$, we have $b-a\in P$. Similarly, we have $d-c\in P$. We have\begin{align*}(b+d)-(a+c)&=b+d-a-c\\ \text{ by Axiom 6 (a)} \quad&=(b-a)+(d-c)\in P.\end{align*}Hence $a+c < b+d$. (b)…
