Hello. Sorry about that. First time using the service, so I didn't know what a good price would be. I also didn't know it would be so difficult to solve - I thought it would mostly use basic definitions since the other questions on this exam use mostly definitions or key but simply-stated theorems like the extreme value theorem. I would be willing to up the price but I don't think there is a way to do it after the fact?
