Math Problem Statement

A cauchy sequence of real numbers always _ fill the blanks

Solution

A Cauchy sequence of real numbers always converges to a limit in the real numbers. This is because the real numbers form a complete metric space, meaning every Cauchy sequence in R\mathbb{R} converges to a point in R\mathbb{R}.

In summary:

  • A Cauchy sequence of real numbers always converges in R\mathbb{R}.

Here are 5 related questions to explore further:

  1. What is the definition of a Cauchy sequence?
  2. How does completeness of R\mathbb{R} relate to Cauchy sequences?
  3. Can a Cauchy sequence in a metric space fail to converge?
  4. How can we prove that every convergent sequence is Cauchy?
  5. What is an example of a non-Cauchy sequence?

Tip: In any metric space, if every Cauchy sequence converges, the space is called "complete."
