Chapter 4.4, Problem 4E

A sequence x of real numbers is a Cauchy* sequence if for every ε > 0 , there exists an integer M such that if m , n > M , then | x n x m | < ε . That is, terms in the sequence are arbitrarily close together if the terms are chosen far enough along the sequence.

  1. Prove that if x is a Cauchy sequence, then x is bounded.
  2. Prove that if x is a convergent sequence, then x is a Cauchy sequence. (It can also be shown that every Cauchy sequence converges.)
