How are they different?
Find inf, sup of S
1) S= {1/n | n in N}
2) S ={1/n | n in Z, n >0}
3) S ={1/n | n in Z , n> = 0}
Please, help

sry 1.) inf =0,sup=1 ???
OpenStudy (mathmath333):
inf means lowest?
OpenStudy (mathmath333):
and vice versa
OpenStudy (loser66):
inf means the greatest lower bound
OpenStudy (mathmath333):
so m i correct

Yes, but put it in logic, please
OpenStudy (mathmath333):
i never heard of this questions
OpenStudy (mathmath333):
well S will be maximum only at n=1
OpenStudy (loser66):
Like:
Claim inf S = 0,
Proof: \(\forall n \in N\) \(\dfrac{1}{n}<0 \)
OpenStudy (mathmath333):
and s will be lowest on 1/infinty =0

but sup S is not 1, I think
OpenStudy (loser66):
if I take n = 0.5 , n is in N, and 1/n = 2 > 1, so that 1 can't be upper bound of S
OpenStudy (mathmath333):
nut u specified n is in set of natural numbers and 0.5 is not natural number
OpenStudy (loser66):
oh yes, I just realize that, I am sorry, my bad
OpenStudy (mathmath333):
i mean but u specified ,lol

Ok,
next n in Z
OpenStudy (loser66):
The same, right?
OpenStudy (loser66):
for the third case, \(n\in Z, n\geq 0\) is the same, still. right?
OpenStudy (mathmath333):
yes 1 and 2 are same
OpenStudy (mathmath333):
no

i think its inf=1 and sup =1/0=infinity
OpenStudy (mathmath333):
not sure lol
OpenStudy (loser66):
Ok, thank you so much. I got what happen.
OpenStudy (mathmath333):
hey wait

OpenStudy (mathmath333):
for third it will be inf =1/infinity=0 and sup=1/0=infinity
OpenStudy (mathmath333):
tricky
OpenStudy (loser66):
when n goes to 0 , 1/n either goes to \(\infty\) or \(-\infty\)
so that sup, inf don't exists.
OpenStudy (loser66):
but if we break it down to 2 intervals \([-\infty, 0]\) and \([0,\infty]\) then we have inf for each = 0
OpenStudy (mathmath333):
for third question but n>=0 so it will be positive infinity right?

yes,
OpenStudy (mathmath333):
so it means infium exists for question 3 as zero
OpenStudy (loser66):
yes,
OpenStudy (loser66):
hey, I am the Asker, not you. hehehe... You are helping me. How can it turn to I answer your question situation?? hahahha
OpenStudy (mathmath333):
lol its typical way of answering/interacting...dont like other boring ways
