Question
Suppose \(b\) and \(c\) are real numbers such that \(b < c > \frac{1}{2}\). Let \(\{b_n\}\) and \(\{c_n\}\) converge to \(b\) and \(c\) respectively. Show that there exists a positive integer \(N\) such that for all \(n \geq N\), both \(b_n\) and \(c_n\) belong to the interval open interval \((c - \frac{1}{4}, b + \frac{1}{4})\). (Hint: Plot \(b\) and \(c\) on the number line.)

There are no graphs or diagrams provided in this image. The exercise suggests plotting \(b\) and \(c\) on a number line to help visualize the solution.
