Exercise 8.6.4

Show that this defines an ordering on R by verifying properties (o1), (o2), and (o3) from Definition 8.6.5.

Answers

To prove property (o1), assume A B . By definition, this means there is some a A with a B . From Exercise 8.6.2 this means b B , b < a . Then by property (c2) b A ; hence B A .

(o2) is a direct result of the definition of set equality, and (o3) is true because of transivity of the set inclusion relationship.
