7 Rel Numbers nd Functions REAL NUMBER SYSTEM AND INEQUALITIES In this section, we shll study the rel number system, which is the pltform for rel nlysis, nd how to solve inequlities Rel Number System We strt with the set of ll integers, Z It contins ll positive integers, negtive integers nd zero, ie, Z = {n n =, ±, ±, } In the set Z, we know tht there re few lgebric opertions llowed These re ddition, subtrction nd multipliction Division is generlly not llowed in Z, since it will generte frctions Besides the three lgebric opertions, nother property on Z is tht ny two numbers in Z cn be ordered In other words, if, b Z with b, then either < b or b < Becuse of the restriction of not llowing division, it is convenient to epnd the set Z to the set of ll rtionl numbers: Q = {r r = p/q, where p, q Z with q } Thus, rtionl number is quotient of two integers, with the denomintor not being zero Obviously, ny integer n is lso rtionl number, since n cn be epressed s n Hence, Z Q

8 REAL NUMBERS AND FUNCTIONS The order reltion between two rtionl numbers lso holds in Q However, there re mny interesting numbers not contined in Q For instnce, the length of the digonl of the squre with side length equls This number is not rtionl number Another interesting number is π, which is the rtio of the circumference of circle to the dimeter Therefore the number system Q is bit smll We would like to etend Q to bigger number system In fct, there is bigger number system R, clled the the field of rel numbers, contining numbers like nd π R hs mny similr properties s Q R hs lgebric opertions such s ddition, subtrction, multipliction nd division Numbers in R but not rtionl re clled irrtionl numbers The set R is lso ordered We do not discuss in detil the construction of rel numbers here, since it is beyond the scope of the book Thus, we hve three number systems, Z, Q nd R, stisfying Z Q R Besides the obvious difference tht there re irrtionl numbers which re in R, but not in Q, there is deeper difference between these two number systems In order to understnd the difference, we need to introduce the concept of the lest upper bound nd the gretest lower bound of subset of R Definition Given subset S of Q or R, we sy the set S is bounded bove, if there eists number u of Q (R respectively) such tht every number in S is no lrger thn u: s u, for ny s S Such u is clled n upper bound of S The smllest upper bound of S, if it eists, is clled the lest upper bound Similrly one cn define the concept of lower bound nd the gretest lower bound Here is n equivlent wy to understnd the lest upper bound We sy tht l is lest upper bound of S in Q (R respectively) if l is n upper bound of S nd for ny b < l nd b Q (R respectively), b is not n upper bound of S For instnce, the numbers,, 3 re ll upper bounds of the set (, ) in R The number is the lest upper bound of the set The fundmentl difference between Q nd R in the contet of nlysis is tht bounded set in R hs the lest upper bound in R, but bounded set in Q my not hve the lest upper bound in Q This cn be shown by nd S = {q Q q } Q, T = {r R r } R In fct, we hve the following generl theorem, which will not be proved here Theorem Let S be subset of R bounded bove Then S hs the lest upper bound We sy tht the rel number system hs the lest upper bound property will use this theorem without proof In this course, we

9 REAL NUMBER SYSTEM AND INEQUALITIES 3 From the previous emple, we see tht the number system Q does not hve this property We use the coordinte line (or rel line) to represent the rel number system The coordinte line is line with distinguished point O, clled the origin, nd n right rrow on the right end indicting the positive direction of the line A point on the rel line is represented by rel number Points on the left (right resp) side of the origin represent negtive (positive resp) rel numbers The origin represents the zero These re shown in Fig O Fig The rel line Inequlities Given two rel numbers nd b with < b, the set is clled n open intervl The set (, b) = { R < < b} [, b] = { R b} is clled closed intervl There re other kinds of intervls: (, b] = { R < b}, [, b) = { R < b}, (, + ) = { R < }, [, + ) = { R }, (, b) = { R < b}, (, b] = { R b} The whole rel line (, + ) = R These intervls re specil cses of subsets of R There re opertions on subsets: union, intersection nd complement Given two subsets S nd T of R, the union S T is defined by the intersection S T is defined by nd the complement S c is defined by S T = { R S or T }, S T = { R S nd T }, S c = { R / S} Here is the intuitive wy to eplin the words open nd closed The intervl (, b) is open since ll the inequlities re ll strict inequlities The intervl [, b] is closed since ll the inequlities re either or

10 4 REAL NUMBERS AND FUNCTIONS The precise definition of n open set in R cn be stted s follows A set S R is open if for ny point p S, there eists (, b) S contining p A set S is closed if the complement of S is open There is n subset of R, clled the empty set, which does not contin ny elements of R For emple, the intersection (, ) (, ) = According to the definition, R is open nd is closed since is the complement of R The empty set is lso open ccording to the definition In fct, R nd re the only two sets tht re both closed nd open Let us recll some properties of inequlities If < b, then + c < b + c for ny c R; If < b nd c < d, then + c < b + d; 3 If < b nd c >, then c < bc Emple The inequlity + 3 < cn be solved by moving terms round to hve n equivlent inequlity 5 < 5 Multiply both sides by /5 nd switch the direction of the inequlity, we get the solution > Emple To solve the inequlity 3 + >, we fctorize the polynomil first: 3 + = ( )( ) The inequlity is equivlent to the fct tht nd hve the sme signs, ie, > nd > ; or < nd < We obtin > or < A more intuitive wy to solve the inequlity is s follows One should observe tht the monomils nd chnge sign from negtive to positive t nd, respectively Since the roots nd of the polynomil 3 + = ( )( ) divides the rel line into three open intervls (, ), (, ), nd (, + ), we see tht this polynomil chnges sign when moves from one intervl to n djcent one, s demonstrted in Fig In other words, the polynomil ( )( ) tkes the positive sign in the intervl (, ), subsequently negtive sign in (, ) nd positive sign in (, + ) Therefore the solution for the originl inequlity is tht lies in the intervl (, ) or the intervl (, + ) Equivlently, one gets <, or >

46 4 LIMIT AND CONTINUITY becuse the second limit on the right diverges However, if we use sin, nd the sndwich rule, then we get lim sin = Another useful property of the limit of function is the following The property cn be compred with Proposition 8 The sterisk indictes the sttement is not quite true Proposition 6 (Composition Rule*) If lim f() = b nd lim g(y) = c, then lim g(f()) = y b c For emple, the limit lim 3 + = is relly the composition of lim (+) = nd lim 3 y = y The composition rule cn be understood s follows Let y = f() nd z = g(y) Then z = g(f()) is the composition The ssumptions lim f() = b nd lim g(y) = c mens tht y b When the two implictions re combined, we get = y b, y b = z c = z c which mens lim g(f()) = c However, there is slight error in the eplntion bove, wht we relly hve re the following implictions, = y b, y b, y b = z c To mtch the right side of the first impliction to the left side of the second impliction, we must either modify the first impliction into, = y b, y b, which mens tht lim f() = b nd f() b for close nd not equl to, or modify the second impliction into y b = z c, which mens tht the limit lim y b g(y) = c lso includes the possibility of y = b It is not hrd to see tht the second modifiction mens lim y b g(y) = g(b), or g is continuous t b Emple 5 By lim sin = nd lim ( ) =, we get lim ( ) sin =
