UIIree Statements. (a) Any convergent sequence (xn) is bounded. (b) Let (xn) and (yn) be two convergent sequences, and suppose that their limits are xn → L and yn → M. Show that the sequence (xn + Yn), obtained by summing them termwise, is a convergent sequence, and in fact Xn + Yn → (L+ M). (c) There exist bounded sequences which are not convergent.

**Problem 5.**

Prove the following three statements:

(a) Any convergent sequence \((x_n)\) is bounded.

(b) Let \((x_n)\) and \((y_n)\) be two convergent sequences, and suppose that their limits are \(x_n \rightarrow L\) and \(y_n \rightarrow M\). Show that the sequence \((x_n + y_n)\), obtained by summing them termwise, is a convergent sequence, and in fact 

\[x_n + y_n \rightarrow (L + M).\]

(c) There exist bounded sequences which are not convergent.
