b. lim (c/n)
= 1 for c> 1.
This limit has been obtained in Example 3.1.11(c) for c > 0, using a
rather ingenious argument. We give here an alternative approach
for the case c> 1. Note that if % = c¹, then zn > 1 and
Zn+1 <zn for all n = N. (Why?) Thus by the Monotone
Convergence Theorem, the limit x = lim (zn) exists. By Theorem
3.4.2, it follows that x = lim (2n). In addition, it follows from the
relation
Z2n = c1/2n = (c²/n) 1/2
and Theorem 3.2.10 that
1/2
z= lim (2n) = (lim (2n)) 1/2 = 1/2
Therefore we have z² =z whence it follows that either
x = 0 or x = 1. Since zn 1 for all nЄ N, we deduce that x = 1.
We leave it as an exercise to the reader to consider the case
0<c<1.
