3. Prove that if α = sup S and α / S , then (a) α is an accumulation point of S . Let N * ( α, ) be a deleted neighborhood of α . Since α = sup S , there is an element s S such that α - < s α but, since α / S, α - < s < α. Thus, every deleted neighborhood of α contains a point of S which implies that m is an accumulation point of S . (b) S is an infinite set. Let s 1 be any element of S . By Theorem 3 (lecture notes), there exists s 2 S such that s 1 < s 2 < α. Now assume we have selected s 1 , s 2 , . . . , s n S such that s 1 < s 2 < . . . < s n < α. By Theorem 3, there is an element s n +1 S such that s n < s n +1 < α .
