**Text Transcription:**

84. If \( \Sigma a_n \) is divergent and \( c \neq 0 \), show that \( \Sigma c a_n \) is divergent.

85. If \( \Sigma a_n \) is convergent and \( \Sigma b_n \) is divergent, show that the series \( \Sigma (a_n + b_n) \) is divergent. 
   *[Hint: Argue by contradiction.]*

86. If \( \Sigma a_n \) and \( \Sigma b_n \) are both divergent, is \( \Sigma (a_n + b_n) \) necessarily divergent?

87. Suppose that a series \( \Sigma a_n \) has positive terms and its partial sums \( s_n \) satisfy the inequality \( s_n \leq 1000 \) for all \( n \). Explain why 
     \( \Sigma a_n \) must be convergent.

88. The Fibonacci sequence was defined in Section 11.1 by the equations

   \( f_1 = 1, \quad f_2 = 1, \quad f_n = f_{n-1} + f_{n-2} \quad \text{for} \quad n \geq 3 \)

   Show that each of the following statements is true:

   (a) \( \frac{1}{f_{n-1}f_n} = \frac{1}{f_{n-1}f_n} - \frac{1}{f_nf_{n+1}} \)

   (b) \( \sum_{n=2}^{\infty} \frac{1}{f_{n-1}f_{n+1}} = 1 \)

   (c) \( \sum_{n=2}^{\infty} \frac{f_n}{f_{n-1}f_{n+1}} = 2 \)

89. The Cantor set, named after the German mathematician Georg Cantor (1845–1918), is constructed as follows. We start with the closed interval \([0, 1]\) and remove the open interval \(\left(\frac{1}{3}, \frac{2}{3}\right)\). That leaves the two intervals \(\left[0, \frac{1}{3}\right]\
