(b) Show that if L > 1 then lim

Now since any sequence (sn) with a limit is either bounded above or bounded below we conclude that (an) has no limit if a < ?1. 9.16 (a) Prove lim n4+8n n2+9.

8.4) Claim: If (tn) is a bounded sequence and (sn) is a sequence such that limsn = 0 (Alternatively

of truncations of ?2 converges to ?2. 8.1d; CM Prove that lim n + 6 n2 ? 6. = 0. Fix ?>0. Choose N > 1 ? +6. If n>N then.

sn. = 0. b) Show that if lim n?? sn = 0 and sn > 0 for all n then lim n??. 1 sn. = ?. 2) Define {sn} by sn+1 = ?. 5 + sn for n ? 1 and s1 =.

(4) follows from (3) if we set tn = C for all n. Applying (4) with C = ?1 shows that limn(?tn) = ?t. Using this with (1)

case we define the sum of the series to be the limit of its partial sums. Proof. The series converges if and only if the sequence (Sn) of partial sums ...

(c) lim supsn is the biggest subsequential limit: 1; lim inf sn is the (a) We need to show that if (sn) is a convergent sequence of points in [a b]

9.12; 4pts Assume all sn =0 and that the limit L = lim\ sn+1 sn. . . exists. (a) Show that if L<1 then limsn =0. (b) Show that if L>1

We want to show that sn ? 0. We have ?

lim n?? sn = lim n?? sN+n ? lim n?? ans N = sN lim n?? an = 0 when a < 1 9 15 Show that limn?? an n! = 0 for all a ? R Put sn = an/n! and ?nd that sn+1/sn = a/(n + 1) tends to 0 as n ? ? Therefore by the previous exercise limsn = 0 (In other words n! grows faster than any exponential sequence an

Exercise 2 2Prove that lim n!1 3 n = 0 Exercise 2 3Prove that lim n!1 1 n2 = 0 Exercise 2 4Prove that lim n!1 ( 1)n n = 0 See Figure 2 3 Exercise 2 5Prove that lim n!1 1 n(n 1) = 0: It is good to understand examples when the de nition of converging to zero does not apply as in the following example Example 2 4Prove that the sequence s n= n+

lim n?? sn = s or by limsn = s or by sn ? s A sequence that does not converge is said to diverge Examples Which of the sequences given above converge and which diverge; give the limits of the convergent sequences THEOREM 1 If sn ? s and sn ? t then s = t That is the limit of a convergent sequence is unique Proof: Suppose s 6=t

(a) Show that if s n a for all but nitely many n then lims n a (b) Show that if s n b for all but nitely many n then lims n b (c) Conclude that if all but nitely many s n belong to [a;b] then lims n belongs to [a;b] 2 Section 9 9 2Suppose limx n = 3 limy n = 7 and all y n are nonzero Determine the following limits: (a) lim(x n + y n

(a)Show that if L < 1 then lims n = 0 Hint: Select a so that L < a < 1 and obtain N so that js n+1j< ajs njfor n N Then show js nj< an Njs Njfor n > N (b)Show that if L > 1 then limjsnj= +1 Hint: Apply (a) to the sequence t n = 1 sn; see Theorem 9 10 Proof (a) Since L < 1 we may choose a 2(L;1) Let " = a L Since js n+1 sn j!L
