    Sup & inf - riemann integral

    another simple question im stuck

    please see in the attached file : )

    i dont now how to get... the infimum = 1 - 1/n ?? i thought this should be 0 ?

    like the supremum = 1 , this makes sense , but the infimum is 0 to me

    thank you for your help

    This makes absolutely no sense without the function.
