Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

Let A and B be non- empty bounded subset of R

a.We have to find why
sup(A\cup B)exist

If A and B are bounded set

Then there exist constant such that


a\leq A\leq b and
c\leq B\leq d

Then , sup of A =b and sup of B=d

When a set is bounded then all elements lie in the set are lie between the constants s and t.

All elements are less than or equal to t then t is supremum of set.

Because both set are bounded and sup of both set A and B are exist.All elements A union B are less than or equal to sup A or sup B.


sup(A\cup B)=max(sup A, sup B)

Then,
sup (A\cup B) exist.

b.We have to prove that


sup (A\cup B)=max(sup A,sup B)

Suppose ,A =(1,2) and B=(2,3)

Sup A=2 , sup B=3


(A\cup B)=(1,2)\cup (2,3)

Upper bound of
A\cup B)=3

Hence,
Sup (A\cup B)=3

If A=(4,5),B=(2,3)

Sup A=5,Sup B=3


A\cup B=(4,5)\cup (2,3)


Sup(A\cup B)=5

Hence,
Sup(A\cup B)=5

Hence, we can say that
sup(A\cup B)=max(sup A,sup B).
