Sequences.

A. Is it true that if a sequence (un)nEN in R is convergent if |un+1 − un| → 0. Justify your answer

B. Is it true that if a sequence (un)nEN in R is convergent if |un+1 − un|≤1/(3n). Justify your answer

C. Show that a sequence (un)nEN in R is convergent if its two subsequences (u2n)nEN and (u2n+1)nEN are convengent to the same limit. 

Expert Solution
Step 1

C. Let, ε>0

Let, limnun=l=limnun+1, then there exists natural numbers k1,k2 such that 

u2n-l<ε nk1u2n+1-l<ε nk2

Let, k=maxk1,k2

Then, k is a natural number and for all nk, l-ε<u2n<l+ε and l-ε<u2n+1<l+ε

That means , l-ε<un<l+ε n2k-1

As 2k-1 is a natural number, it follows that limnun=l

Then, it is proved that a sequence unn in  is convergent if its two sub sequences u2nn and u2n+1n are convergent to the same limit.
