SUMMARY
The proof that sup(B) = sup(A) + 1 is established for a non-empty, bounded set A, where B is defined as A + 1. The argument shows that if sup(A) = α, then α + 1 serves as an upper bound for B. The proof further confirms that this upper bound is indeed the least upper bound by demonstrating that for any b in B, b = a + 1 for a in A, ensuring that α + 1 is the smallest value that satisfies this condition.
