Our professor asked us to find a function $ g : (0,1) \rightarrow \mathbb{R} $ that extends$ f : \mathbb{R} - (0,1) \rightarrow \mathbb{R} $ that is constantly $0$ for $x\leq0$ and constantly $1$...

Proof that for any interval (a,b) with a

Background: We are assuming that the elements of $\mathbb{R}\setminus\mathbb{Q}$ are irrational number. If $x$ is irrational and $r$ is rational then $y=x+r$ is irrational. Also, if $r\neq 0$ then $rx$...

Real analysis, Infimum, Supremum [closed]

Let ∅ 6= A, B ⊆ R and α∈ R. Consider the following subsets:A + B := {a + b : a ∈ A, b ∈ B}Show that, if A and B are bounded above, then so is A + B and sup A + B = sup A + sup B.\

Is it true that if $f:\mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}$ is a continuous function and...

I'm pretty sure this is false and that I should use Cantor's function (its extension) as a counterexample, but I don't know how.

Uniqueness of function from an integral transform.

Suppose that $f,g$ are positive, non-decreasing, differentiable functions, with $f(0)=g(0)=0$. Further suppose that $f,g$ are such that $c\sqrt{x}\leq f(x),g(x)\leq Cx$ for all large $x$, and such...

Constructing measurable sets out of the unit square

We know that for a Lebesgue measurable set $S \subseteq \mathbb{R}$, any of its translates $x+S$ for some $x \in \mathbb{R}$ is Lebesgue measurable with $m(x+S) = m(S)$. I am wondering about properties...

Decimal expression of reals

Let $x>0$ be real. Then $A_1=\{n\in \mathbb{N}\mid x<n\}$ is nonempty since $\mathbb{R}$ is dedekind complete. Since $\mathbb{N}$ is well ordered, $A_1$ has a least element $k$. Thus $k-1$ is the...
