Rational numbers don't have lub property

73 Views Asked by At

A counterexample is $A=\{x\in\mathbb Q | x>0 \land x^2<2\}$ but for this set, how come $\sqrt 2$ is not the supremum of the set? I don't understand it.

Even if I see some explanations, I think $\sqrt 2$ is the sup. Can you help me for figuring out this?
