a) Suppose (an) is Cauchy and that for every k∈N, the interval (−1/k,1/k) contains atleast one term of (an). Can we say that (an) converges to 0? Either show that it does or give a counter-example. b) Suppose (xn) is Cauchy and (yn) is bounded and monotone. Can we say anything aboutwhether the sequence (xn yn) converges or not? Justify your answer!
