We introduce and prove the nested interval property, or nested interval theorem, or NIP, whatever you like to call it. This theorem says that, given a sequence of nested and closed intervals, that is, closed intervals J1, J2, J3, and so on such that each Jn contains Jn+1, this infinite sequence of nested intervals has a nonempty intersection. We prove this using the axiom of completeness and a supremum. #RealAnalysis Real Analysis playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLztBpqftvzxWo4HxUYV58ENhxHV32Wxli Real Analysis exercises: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLztBpqftvzxXAN05Gm3iNmpz9SkVfLNqC Supremum and Infimum: https://youtu.be/QRGIhqz9vh4 Axiom of Completeness: (coming soon) ◉Textbooks I Like◉ Graph Theory: https://amzn.to/3JHQtZj Real Analysis: https://amzn.to/3CMdgjI Proofs and Set Theory: https://amzn.to/367VBXP (available for free online) Statistics: https://amzn.to/3tsaEER Abstract Algebra: https://amzn.to/3IjoZaO Discrete Math: https://amzn.to/3qfhoUn Number Theory: https://amzn.to/3JqpOQd ★DONATE★ ◆ Support Wrath of Math on Patreon for early access to new videos and other exclusive benefits: https://www.patreon.com/join/wrathofmathlessons ◆ Donate on PayPal: https://www.paypal.me/wrathofmath Thanks to Petar, dric, Rolf Waefler, Robert Rennie, Barbara Sharrock, Joshua Gray, Karl Kristiansen, Katy, Mohamad Nossier, and Shadow Master for their generous support on Patreon!
