The Integer Part as the Greatest Integer Below, the Integer Part of a Double, and Powers of Two

An integer lies below a real number exactly when it lies below its integer part; the integer part of a double lies between twice the integer part and that plus one; and every natural number m satisfies m < 2^m and 0 < 2^{-m} < 1/m.

Statement

In the setting of Routine Facts Used Without Citation: Arithmetic, Maps, Predicativity and Indices, let R\mathbb{R}, its order ≤\le and its operations be as in The Real Numbers, with the Natural Numbers, Integers and Rationals Identified with Subsets of the Reals, and Completeness (ii), with natural numbers and integers read in R\mathbb{R} as in The Real Numbers, with the Natural Numbers, Integers and Rationals Identified with Subsets of the Reals, and Completeness (v), and for z∈Rz\in\mathbb{R} let ⌊z⌋\lfloor z\rfloor be the integer part of zz. Let z∈Rz\in\mathbb{R}.

For every n∈Zn\in\mathbb{Z}: n≤zn\le z if and only if n≤⌊z⌋n\le\lfloor z\rfloor.

2⌊z⌋≤⌊2z⌋≤2⌊z⌋+12\lfloor z\rfloor\le\lfloor 2z\rfloor\le2\lfloor z\rfloor+1.

Let m∈Nm\in\mathbb{N}, let 2m2^{m} be the power of 22 in R\mathbb{R}, and write 2−m=1/2m2^{-m}=1/2^{m}. Then 0<m<2m0<m<2^{m} and 0<2−m<1/m0<2^{-m}<1/m.
