(i) If (sn) is an unbounded sequence, then eithersn+orsn→ -∞.(j) If(sn)is a bounded sequence andα= sup{sn},then(sn)has asubsequence which converges toα.(k) For any given sequence(sn),(sn)has a convergent subsequence(snk). 4
(l) For any bounded sequence(sn),lim supsn= sup{sn}.(m) Itαis a subsequential limit of a bounded sequence(sn),thenαlim supsn(n) If every subsequence of a sequence(sn)is convergent, then(sn)itselfmust be convergent. 5
(o) If(sn)is a divergent sequence, then some subsequence of(sn)mustdiverge.(p) If(sn)is unbounded above, then(sn)has an increasing subsequence(snk)which diverges to +. 6
2. Let(sn)be a positive sequence such thatlimn→∞sn+1sn=L >1.Prove thatsn+.Hint:limn→∞xn= +for any numberxsuch thatx >1. 7
3.Limits:Determine the convergence or divergence of each of the followingsequences. If the limit exists, state what it is. (Hint: Use the previous problem,and Theorem 3 from Section 17.)(a)sn=n33n(b)sn=n!n10(c)sn=nnn! 8
4. For each of the following sequences, determine: (1) Whether the sequence con-verges; if it does, give the limit.
