Sure, here's a simple proof for the Bolzano-Weierstrass Theorem:

Let f be a continuous real-valued function defined on a closed and bounded interval [a, b], where a < b are real numbers.

1. If f takes a maximum value or a minimum value on [a, b], then return. This value is a fixed point of f.

2. Otherwise, if [a, b] consists of only two elements, say f(a) and f(b), and f(a) < f(b), then the fixed point of f is f(a).

3. Otherwise, consider the set of all real numbers x in [a, b] for which there exists an open interval I, containing x, such that f(x) is not the maximum nor minimum of f(y), with y belongs to I.

4. Let {x_n} be a sequence in [a, b] such that (x_1 = a or x_1 > a) and |f(x_n+1) - f(x_n)| < 1/n for all n ∈ N.

5. Since [a, b] is a closed interval, f(a) += f(b) contains at least one fixed point.

6. Let c be a fixed point from the set {a, b} that doesn’t belong to the set of fixed points of f.

7. This set has at least two elements since if |f(a) - f(b)| = 0, these are the fixed points.

8. Consider some value a < x < b which is not a fixed point.

9. We can find a neighborhood I (this exists like an open set ) such that {f(y), y in I|} is also the minimum of f on I (if it exists). The same goes for a max.

10. So, it’s related to x. Otherwise, it’d get a contradiction based on the argument (though it’s not needed nearby).

11. Such an I exists because a is not a remedy for its values; there’s a closed subinterval, I[x], such that the minimum of f on I[x] is min on the interval I[x].

12. Let D(x, f) = {y ∈ I:f(y) ≤ f(x)} and U(x, f) = {y ∈ I:f(y) > f(x)}.

13. Now choose c ∈ [min(f*|D|), maximum(f*|U|)] = [min(f*|D|), max(f*|U|)]

14. This way, f(C) đ ∈ {min(f*|D|), max(f*|U|)} where đ is the unknown and unknown.

15. It’s straightforward to see that if we substitute y in place of ‘x' with C, then the preceding case occurs once more.

16. Therefore, carry C.

17. Renewing this action on I = [a, b], this algorithm may have led to the interval, [a ', b '], I′, is further separated, i.e., I is [A ', B'].

18. It suffices that [a, b] isn’t a single point, at least ever, in which case we may have the possibility of at least two subintervals, I′1 = [a ', B '].

19. Step 17, this gives (*) |F (a '. F (b '|) < |b - a|.

20. So, an L ≤ |b – a|, such that f takes hovering in L.

21. Therefore, there are at least two entries q and r, and two measures, r and p ',' where q < r.

22. qr[A ', B '], then open a neighborhood at q and r; there’s also a perspective a 'x' from U(q, f).

23. Since we can identify that this region {y ∈ [0, ∞]:q - ∞ < f(y) < q + 0 intelligent for y from U(q, f)} is without end both as a minimum.

24. Quite the same way, {y ∈ [0, ∞]:r-∞ < f(y) < r+0 correct for y} is a closed local region where f(y) < minimize.

25. We find two identified, minimum areas, {fsps ≤ q and fsp < min}\\ As partitions of Q and r minimum intervals [q s', q t '] and [r s ', r t '], such that those forms aren’t closed to each other.

26. Eventually c ∈ [q s', q t '], and c ^* ∈ [r s', r t '].

27. This has a contradiction because they’re obviously in the closed region, enclosing q and r, which is mutually exclusive.

28. Obviously impossible here, which manifests that the first claim is directly accurate.

29. Minimum occurs at different amounts. In this case, minimum point is indefinable.

30. One that is incomparable is where there’s no lowest or supreme.

31. (c) The deficit concerns maximum possible. It occurs if a has raised considerably; in this case, no point is maximum individually.

32. No low spot too (by the central fact in this portion above).

33. The place that has no low area or a utmost point is just what f results.

34. Therefore, f never dramatically built. Almost every fractures are groundless.

35. Therefore B - A, an assembled shape intersection, are not ever 0×0.

36. We can observe that because the chemical is organized.

Sure, I'd be happy to help explain the Bolzano-Weierstrass Theorem. This theorem states that every bounded sequence in real numbers has a convergent subsequence. Here's a simplified version of the proof:

1. Let's start with a bounded sequence (a_n). Since it's bounded, there are real numbers m and M such that m <= a_n <= M for all n.

2. Divide the interval [m, M] into two equal parts. Since the sequence is infinite, infinitely many terms of the sequence must lie in at least one of these two parts. Let's call this part [m_1, M_1] and let's select a term in this interval, say a_n1.

3. Now, divide the interval [m_1, M_1] into two equal parts. Again, infinitely many terms of the sequence must lie in at least one of these parts. Let's call this part [m_2, M_2] and select a term in this interval, say a_n2, where n2 > n1.

4. Continue this process indefinitely. We end up with a sequence of intervals [m_k, M_k] and a subsequence (a_nk) where nk > nk-1 for all k, and mk <= a_nk <= Mk.

5. The length of the interval [m_k, M_k] is (M - m) / 2^k, which tends to zero as k goes to infinity. Therefore, according to the Nested Intervals Property, there exists a unique real number L that lies in all of these intervals.

6. We claim that the subsequence (a_nk) converges to L. To see this, let epsilon > 0 be given. Choose a natural number K such that (M - m) / 2^K < epsilon. Then for all k >= K, we have |a_nk - L| <= (M - m) / 2^k <= (M - m) / 2^K < epsilon.

7. Therefore, the subsequence (a_nk) is convergent, which completes the proof.
