How to prove $\inf B = -\sup A$

180 Views Asked by At

so i just started learning this subject. i undestand the basics of it but can't seem to understand how to prove a curtain claim on it.

for example i received a question as homework that i would really appreaciate it if someone could help me with it, please explain it step by step:

  • $A \subset \mathbb R$ has an upper bound.
  • $B = \{ -a \mid a \in A\}$

prove that $B$ has a lower bound and that $\inf B = -\sup A$.

please help.. thank you.
