    a) sup (AUB) exist because A and B are bounded.

    The definition of sup (A) = {x∈A/y∈A, y≤x}

    If x=sup (A), x∈A ⇒ x∈ (A∪B)

    If z=sup (B), z∈B ⇒ z∈ (A∪B)

    b) The value of sup (A∪B) = max (sup (B), sup (A))

    proof

    x∈A∪B⇒x∈A ∨ x∈B⇒x≤sup (A) ∨ x≤sup (B) then x≤max{sup (A), sup (B) }

    sup (A) ≤sup (A∪B) and

    sup (B) ≤sup (A∪B)

    By definition of max:

    max{sup (A), sup (B) }≤sup (A∪B).
