Answer to Problem 1CV

Solution:

If a sequence {sn} converges to L, we call L the limit of the sequence.

Explanation of Solution

In general, the notation limn  sn = L is used to mean that as n gets larger and larger, the terms of the sequence {sn} get closer and closer to the number L. In such a case, the sequence is said to converge to L, and L is called the limit of the sequence.
