Math Problem Statement

Now prove the same question using the definiton of sequence(epsilon definiton)

Solution

Great! To walk through a proof involving the definition of a sequence using the epsilon definition, let’s first summarize what this means.

Epsilon-Definition of the Limit of a Sequence:

A sequence (an)(a_n) has the limit LL (i.e., limnan=L\lim_{n \to \infty} a_n = L) if for every ϵ>0\epsilon > 0, there exists a natural number NN such that for all nNn \geq N,
anL<ϵ.|a_n - L| < \epsilon. In other words, beyond a certain index NN, the terms ana_n are arbitrarily close to the limit LL.


Could you specify the exact sequence you'd like me to prove the limit of using this epsilon-definition? Or should I walk you through a general example like the sequence an=1na_n = \frac{1}{n} converging to 0?

Let me know if you'd like a more specific sequence to be tackled!
