How to prove that $\sup (c \cdot X) = c \cdot \sup X $?

66 Views Asked by At

Let $c$ be a positive real number and let $X$ be a bounded from above, non-empty subset of $\mathbb R$. Define set $c \cdot X$ as $$c \cdot X = \{ c \cdot x \bracevert x \in X \} .$$ Prove that $c \cdot X$ is non-empty and bounded from above and that $ \sup (c \cdot X) = c \cdot \sup X $.

Hint. If $c>0$ then $x\leq y$ iff $cx\leq cy$.
