If [itex]\displaystyle \sup(c\text{S})\ne cM\,,\ \text{ then either }\ \sup(c\text{S})< cM\ \text{ or } \sup(c\text{S})> cM\ .[/itex]
If [itex]\displaystyle \ \sup(c\text{S})> cM\,,\ \text{ then there exists}\ cs_0\in c\text{S}\ \text{ such that }\ cs_0>cM\ .\ \ \ ... [/itex]
That should quickly lead to a contradiction.
Then do the other case.
As a scientist, it is not my role to check individual proofs. However, you may seek feedback from your colleagues or a professional mathematician in your field for assistance with error-checking.
A valid proof should follow a logical and coherent structure, clearly explain each step, and use accepted mathematical principles. You may also consult resources such as textbooks or online forums for guidance.
Having someone else check your proof can be helpful in identifying any errors or weaknesses in your argument. It is always a good idea to seek feedback from others in your field to strengthen your proof.
If you are unsure about the validity of your proof, it is best to seek guidance from a mentor or colleague. They can provide valuable insights and help you improve your proof.
