SCRAPWORK: Given ɛ > 0, we want N so
that if n > N, then a,bn
the standard tricks in analysis is to
ab < e. One of
"uncancel." In this case we will subtract
and add a convenient term. Normally
these would "cancel out," which is why we
say that we will uncancel to put them back
in. You already saw an example of this in
proving the Reverse Triangle Inequality
7.2.3). In the present case,
consider
|a,b, – ab| = |a,b, – a„b+ a„b – ab|
< lanb, – amb| + |a„b – ab|
= |an||bn – 6| + |||an – al.
We can make this whole thing less than e,
provided we make each term in the sum
less than 5. We can make b an – a| <
if we make an – a < 2. But wait! What
if b = 0? We could handle this as a
separate case or we can do the following
"slick trick." Notice that we can add one
more line to the above string of
inequalities:
|an||bn – b| + |b||a, – al < |an||bn – b| + (|b| +
Now we can make |an – a| < 2(6+1)
and
not worry about dividing by zero.

Theorem 7.2.4. If lim an
= a and
lim b, = b, then lim (a, + b„) = a + b.
We will often informally state this theorem
as "the limit of a sum is the sum of the
limits." However, to be absolutely precise,
what it says is that if we already know that
two sequences converge, then the
sequence formed by summing the
corresponding terms of those two
sequences will converge and, in fact,
converge to the sum of those individual
limits. We'll provide the scrapwork for the
proof of this and leave the formal write-up
as an exercise. Note the use of the triangle
inequality in the proof.
