Transcribed Image Text:1.Suppose that the sequence {an} is monotone. Prove that {an} converges if and only if {a}
converges. Show that the result does not hold without the monotonicity assumption.
2. Suppose that the sequence {a} converges to a and that a < 1. Prove that the sequence
{(an)"} converges to zero. (Hint: You need to use the fact that a < 1. You will need to point
out in your proof how are using this.)
