Let $f: I \to \mathbb{R}$ be a function, where $I \subset \mathbb{R}^+.$ Let $u>0,E=\{x \in I,f(x)>u\}$ . Define $y \in \overline{\mathbb{R}}^+:y=\inf E$ if $E \neq \emptyset$ and $y=+\infty$ otherwise.
i. If $I=\mathbb{N},$ can you declare that: $\forall x \in I,f(\min(x,y)) \leq u$ ?
ii. Repeat question i. when $I=\mathbb{R}^+.$
Attempt: i. Let $v= \min(x,y) \leq y,$ this implies from the definiton of the infimum $\forall k \in I,$ such that $f(k) >u,f(k) \leq y,$ but it seems this is not very helpful.
Any ideas are aprreciated!
