Solution
Let us solve the exercise step-by-step based on the given problem.
Exercise 2 Explanation:
- Definitions:
-
Two sequences and are called adjacent if:
- One is increasing ( is increasing),
- The other is decreasing ( is decreasing),
- And as .
-
If and are adjacent sequences such that is increasing and is decreasing, then for all , .
-
Question 1:
(a) Complete the sentence:
- "Toute suite croissante et majorée est convergente."
Explanation: This follows from the monotone convergence theorem, which states that a bounded, monotonic sequence is convergent.
(b) Complete the sentence:
- "Toute suite croissante et bornée est convergente."
Explanation: This is the same result, phrased differently. A bounded, increasing sequence will always converge.
Question 2:
Proposition:
"Deux suites adjacentes sont convergentes et elles ont la même limite."
Answer:
The statement is true. Here's why:
-
Since is increasing and bounded above (as is decreasing and acts as its upper bound), converges.
Let . -
Similarly, since is decreasing and bounded below (as is increasing and acts as its lower bound), converges.
Let . -
The fact that implies:
-
Hence, , so both sequences converge to the same limit.
Question 3:
Relate the curve of column to the curve of column , with justification.
Solution:
The relationship between the two curves can be justified as follows:
- Curve corresponds to the increasing sequence , and curve corresponds to the decreasing sequence .
- The condition of adjacency () means the two curves "approach each other" as grows larger, ultimately converging to the same limit.
Thus, the curves represent the convergence of the two adjacent sequences to their common limit.
Final Answer Summary:
-
Question 1:
(a) convergente.
(b) bornée. -
Question 2:
The proposition is true, with a demonstration provided above. -
Question 3:
The curves (from ) and (from ) represent and , respectively, and they approach the same limit, as justified above.
