Problem 7.2.8. Prove Lemma 7.2.7.
Lemma 7.2.7. A Convergent Sequence
Is Bounded.
If limn0 an = a, then there exists B > 0
such that an| B for all n.
in-context
Hint. We know that there exists N such
that if n > N, then |a, – al < 1. Let B
max(la1|, la2|,..., la[|, |a| +1), where
|N] represents the smallest integer
greater than or equal to N. Also, notice
that this is not a convergence proof so it
is not safe to think of N as a large
number.
Actually, this is a dangerous habit to fall
into even in convergence proofs.
Armed with this bound B, we can add on
one more inequality to the above
scrapwork to get
· b| = |an · bn
< lan · bn
= |an||bn
< B\b, – b| + (|b| + 1) |an
|an · bn

more line to the above string of
inequalities:
|a,||b, – b| + |6||a, – a| < |a,| |b,, - 6| + (|b| +
Now we can make |an – a|< 2(6+1)

not worry about dividing by zero.

more finesse. At first glance, one would be
tempted to try and make b, – b| < ga:
Even if we ignore the fact that we could be
dividing by zero (which we could handle),
we have a bigger problem. According to
the definition of limn-+∞ bn = b, we can
make b, – b smaller than any given fixed
positive number, as long as we make n
large enough (larger than some N which
goes with a given epsilon). Unfortunately,

it; there is no reason to believe that a
single N will work with all of these
simultaneously. To handle this impasse,
we need the following:
