DEFINITION OF SEQUENCES

(2 , 22 , 23 ,2 4 ,25 , 26 ,27 , …)

N= { 1, 2 ,3,4,5,6,7 ,… . }

A sequence of real numbers is any function f : N → R

( x n ) →n th term of sequences
1. x n=1 , ∀ n ∈ N ( 1 ,1 , 1 ,1 , … ) →con stant sequences

2. ( 2 , 22 , 23 ,2 4 , … ,2n ) =( x 1 , x 2 , x 3 , x 4 , … , x n)
( 2n ) =(x n )

3. ( 2 , 2+ 2, 6 , 8 , 10 , … )=2 n

4. (1 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 51 , … , 1n )=( 1n )
5. ( 1 ,2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , … )=(n)

LIMIT OF A SEQUENCE
A real number x ∈ R is said to be limit of a sequnce ( x ¿¿ n)¿

If for ∈≠ E> 0∃ K ∈ N (depending on E) such that |x n−x '|< E ∀ n ≥ K

Catatan

1. Convergent (if sequences has limit)

2. Divergent (if sequences has no limit)

Uniquenes of limit

A sequences cannot converge to more than one limit

Proof

Lets, if possible ( x n) converges to limit x ' ∧x ''

Lets E>0
'
Since ( x n ) → x , so K 1 ∈ N such that

|x n−x '|< E2 ∀ n ≥ K 1 … … …(i)

And ( x n) → x' '

→ ∃ K 2 such that

|x n−x ' '|< E2 ∀ n≥ K 2 … … …(i i)

K=max { K 1 , K 2 }

If n ≥ K → n ≥ K 1∧n ≥ K 2

|x ' −x ''|=|x ' −x n+ x n −x' '|

≤|x n−x '|+|x n−x ''|

|x ' + x' '|< E

as E → 0|x ' −x ' '|→0

→ x' =x ' '
