Proposition 1.3.1:
(i) |x| ≥ 0, and |x| = 0 if and only if x = 0.
(ii) | -x| = |x| for all real x.
(iii) |x * y| = |x| * |y| for all real x, y.
(iv) |x| ^ 2 = x ^ 2 for all real x.
(v) |x| ≤ y if and only if -y ≤ x ∧ x ≤ y.
(vi) -(|x|) ≤ x ∧ x ≤ |x| for all real x.
Example 1.3.5: On the interval [-1, 5], the quadratic x ^ 2 - 9 * x + 1
is bounded in absolute value by 71; that is, a permissible M satisfying
|x ^ 2 - 9 * x + 1| ≤ M for all x in this interval is M = 71.

Proposition 1.3.7: If f, g : D → ℝ are bounded functions on a nonempty
set D with f x ≤ g x for every x ∈ D, then the supremum of the range of
f is at most the supremum of the range of g, and the infimum of the range
of f is at most the infimum of the range of g.
