Problem

Prove Proposition 1.4.1. That is, suppose I⊂RI \subset \mathbb{R} is a subset with at least 2 elements such that if a<b<ca < b < c and a,c∈Ia, c \in I, then b∈Ib \in I. Prove that II is one of the nine types of intervals explicitly given in this section. Furthermore, prove that the intervals given in this section all satisfy this property.
