(a) True. By the order limit theorem, for any sequence that converges to ,
By applying this theorem on the set , we have
and we can conclude that the limit of also is an upper bound for all terms belonging to .
(b) False. We do a simple proof by contradiction. Suppose that the sequence has all of its terms in
but that its limit is in . By definition, we can then choose for which
However, this implies that is in for every when we assumed that no is in .
(c) False. We can create sequences that approach an irrational number via only rational ones. The question is: do we have an infinite number of irrational numbers ever closer to it? The answer to that is yes since the rational numbers are dense in .
