General Mathematics Question : Given $(x_n)$ is convergent sequence in $\mathbb{R}$ and $(y_n)$ is bounded sequence in $\mathbb{R}$ then we can conclude that, (a) $(x_n+y_n)$ is convergent. (b) $(x_n+y_n)$ is bounded. (c) $(x_n+y_n)$ has no convergent subsequence. (d)$(x_n+y_n)$ has no bounded subsequence. Solution : we discuss options one by one (a) take $x_n=1$ for all $n\in\mathbb{N}$ and $y_n=(-1)^n$ for all $n\in\mathbb{N}$ then, sequence $(x_n)$ is convergent and $(y_n)$ is bounded. But, $(x_n+y_n)=(0,2,0,2,0,2,....)$ which is not convergent. Hence (a) is false. (b) given that sequence $(x_n)$ is convergent and hence it is bounded. Also given that, $(y_n)$ is bounded. So that sum of two bounded sequence $(x_n+y_n)$ is also bounded. Hence (b) is true. (c), (d): By option (b) as sequence $(x_n+y_n)$ is bounded sequence and hence by "Bolzano Weierstrass theorem for sequences", it has convergent (hence bounded) subsequence. So that, (c),(d) are fa...
Question Press/click below hints, answer "buttons" for solution: Do you really need hint? Give your 100% first! If still you have problem then check hint 2 Hint 1 "given that $\lim_{x \to +\infty} a_{n}= 0$. Hence by definition of limit of sequence we have, for given any $\epsilon >0$ there exists $K\in\mathbb{N}$ such that, $|a_n-0|<\epsilon$ i.e. given any $\epsilon >0$ there exists $K\in\mathbb{N}$ such that, $|a_n|<\epsilon$ "The question ask negation of above statement" Which is given by "there exists an $\epsilon>0$ such that for every $K\in\mathbb{N}$ there exists $n>K$ such that $|a_n|\geq\epsilon$ from this can you conclude the required answer ? Hint 2 By Hint2 we conclude that the answer is option (a) Can you discard the other options? yes! Find counterexample for discarding other options. Did you find any?
