of a sequence. Example 1 In this example we want to determine if the sequence fa ng= ˆ n2 + 2n+ 5 2n2 + 4n 2 ˙ converges or diverges. Using the theorem above, if we let f(x) = x2+2x+5 2x2+4x 2 then f(n) = n2+2 +5 2n2+4n 2 = a n: In order to examine the sequence’s behaviour as n gets bigger and bigger, we need to nd lim n!1 n2+2 +5 2n2+4n 2.

Proposition 5.5. If (xn) is a convergent sequence with limit x, then every subsequence (xn k) of (xn) converges to x. Proof. Let (xn k) be a subsequence of (xn).Take a neighborhood U of x. Since limxn = x, there is N∈ N such that xn ∈ Ufor all n≥ N. From the definition of a subsequence, nk ≥ kfor all k∈ N. So, nk ≥ Nfor all k≥ N. Thus xn k

Remark 2: If a Cauchy sequence has a subsequence that converges to x, then the sequence converges to x. Proof: Exercise. In order to prove that R is a complete metric space, we’ll make use of the following result: Proposition: Every sequence of real numbers has a monotone subsequence. Proof: Suppose the sequence fx

P(|Yn −a| ≤ ǫ) converges to 1, for any fixed ǫ > 0. This is equivalent to P(|Yn −a| > ǫ) → 0 as n → ∞, again for any fixed ǫ > 0. Example 9.1. Toss a fair coin n times, independently.

Some are quite easy to understand: If r = 1 the sequence converges to 1 since every term is 1, and likewise if r = 0 the sequence converges to 0. If r = −1 this is the sequence of example 11.1.7 and diverges.

The sequence in Example 4 converges to 1, because in this case j1 x nj= j1 n 1 n j= 1 n for all n>Nwhere Nis any natural number greater than 1 . Remark: The convergence of each sequence given in the above examples is veri ed directly from the de nition. In general, verifying the convergence directly from the de nition is a di cult task.
