Answer to Problem 1CV
Solution:
If a sequence converges to , we call the limit of the sequence.
Explanation of Solution
In general, the notation is used to mean that as gets larger and larger, the terms of the sequence get closer and closer to the number . In such a case, the sequence is said to converge to , and is called the limit of the sequence.
