ANSWER:Step 1 of 3
A number is a least element of if for every. For example, every finite nonempty set of real numbers and have a least element, while and the open interval (0, 1) of real numbers do not have a least element. A nonempty set of real numbers is said to be well-ordered if every nonempty subset of has a least element.
