part c only please.

Consider the sequence {an}1 defined by 1. an =1 -- 5 1. 1 1 +...+ (-1)"+1. 9. 13 4n – 3 Equivalently, we may define this sequence recursively by a, = 1 and a, = an-1+(-1)"+1 (a) Prove that the subsequence of even-indexed terms is strictly increasing and that the subsequence of odd-indexed terms is strictly decreasing; that is, prove a2k < a2k+2 for all k e N and prove a2k-1 > azk+1 for all k e N. (b) Prove that every even-indexed term is less than every odd-indexed term; that is, show azk < azj-1 for all k, j e N. (c) Prove that the sequence is Cauchy and conclude that it therefore converges. (d) For extra credit: What does it converge to? for all n 2 2. 4n-3
