Prove Corollary 4.22: A set of real numbers E is closed and bounded if and only if every infinite subset of E has a point of accumulation that belongs to E. Use Theorem 4.21: [Bolzano-Weierstrass Property] A set of real numbers is closed and bounded if and only if every sequence of points chosen from the set has a subsequence that converges to a point that belongs to E. Must use Theorem 4.21 to prove Corollary 4.22 and there should...
