{\it Directions}
\vskip 10pt
Do all work and answer all questions on this sheet. (Use the back if you need more space.)  There are 30 possible points, 
distributed as indicated.

\begin{enumerate}
\item[A)]  (15) State the Completeness Axiom (`Axiom C') for the real numbers.
\item[] {\it Solution:}  The statement is -- Let $A \subset \mathbb{R}$ be
a subset that is bounded above.  Then $A$ has a least upper bound $b \in \mathbb{R}$.
\vskip 10pt
\item[] {\it Note:}  This means that:
\begin{enumerate} 
\item[(1)] $b$ is an upper bound for $A$ -- that is, all $x \in A$,  $x \le b$, and 
\item[(2)] If $x \le b'$ for all $x \in A$, then $b \le b'$.  
\end{enumerate}
\item[B)]  (15)  Let $A \subset {\bf R}$ and $2A = \{2x : x \in A\}$.  Show that
if $\sup(A) = c$, then $\sup(2A) = 2c$.
\item[] {\it Solution 1:}  (a direct proof)  First, since $\sup(A) = c$, we
have that $c$ is an upper bound for $A$.  This implies that $x \le c$ for all 
$x \in A$.  Since $2 > 0$, we can multiply both sides of this inequality by 
$2$ to yield $2x \le 2c$ for all $x \in A$.  This shows that $2c$ is an upper
for $2A$ as in point (1) in the solution for part A above.  Now, to show $2c$ is
the least upper bound, we need to show that point (2) also holds for the 
bound $2c$ and the set $2A$.  So let $d$ be 
any other upper bound for the set $2A$.  This means that $2x \le d$ for all $x \in A$, 
so $x \le \frac{d}{2}$ for all $x$ in A.  By point (2) for the upper bound $c$ for $A$,
this implies $c \le \frac{d}{2}$.  But that implies $2c \le d$.  Hence $2c = \sup(2A)$.
\vskip 10pt
\item[] {\it Solution 2:}  The proof of point (1) is the 
same as before -- if $x \le c$, for all $x \in A$, then $2x \le 2c$, so $2c$ is an
upper bound for $2A$.  Now we argue by contradiction for point (2).  Suppose
