Problem

Let AA and BB be two nonempty bounded sets of nonnegative real numbers. Define the set C:={ab:a∈A,b∈B}C := \{ab : a \in A, b \in B\}. Show that CC is a bounded set and that sup⁡C=(sup⁡A)(sup⁡B)andinf⁡C=(inf⁡A)(inf⁡B).\sup C = (\sup A)(\sup B) \quad \text{and} \quad \inf C = (\inf A)(\inf B).
