(a)

Inspired by Exercise 8(a), we define sequence py = 10-3", for n > 0. The

limit of this sequence is obviously 0. Let's check that the convergence is of
order a = 3 by Definition 2.7, as follows.
1 o|
fio~
= lim
nee [I
aga
= it,
lim Gooey 5
10-35
tim, 0

With @ = 3and \ = 1, wesee that the condition in the definition is satisfied,

hence, the order of convergence is 3.
