Math Problem Statement

Écrire en utilisant les quantificateurs les propositions suivantes : 1. La suite (u_n)_{n∈N} est croissante. 2. La suite (u_n)_{n∈N} est décroissante. 3. La suite (u_n)_{n∈N} est minorée. 4. La suite (u_n)_{n∈N} est majorée. 5. La suite (u_n)_{n∈N} est bornée. 6. La suite (u_n)_{n∈N} est constante.

Solution

The image shows a mathematical exercise asking to write statements using quantifiers about a sequence (un)nN(u_n)_{n \in \mathbb{N}}. The six propositions refer to different properties of the sequence such as increasing, decreasing, boundedness, and constancy.

Here is how to express these statements using quantifiers:

  1. La suite (un)nN(u_n)_{n \in \mathbb{N}} est croissante (The sequence is increasing): nN, un+1un\forall n \in \mathbb{N},\ u_{n+1} \geq u_n

  2. La suite (un)nN(u_n)_{n \in \mathbb{N}} est décroissante (The sequence is decreasing): nN, un+1un\forall n \in \mathbb{N},\ u_{n+1} \leq u_n

  3. La suite (un)nN(u_n)_{n \in \mathbb{N}} est minorée (The sequence is bounded below): mR, nN, unm\exists m \in \mathbb{R},\ \forall n \in \mathbb{N},\ u_n \geq m

  4. La suite (un)nN(u_n)_{n \in \mathbb{N}} est majorée (The sequence is bounded above): MR, nN, unM\exists M \in \mathbb{R},\ \forall n \in \mathbb{N},\ u_n \leq M

  5. La suite (un)nN(u_n)_{n \in \mathbb{N}} est bornée (The sequence is bounded): m,MR, nN, munM\exists m, M \in \mathbb{R},\ \forall n \in \mathbb{N},\ m \leq u_n \leq M

  6. La suite (un)nN(u_n)_{n \in \mathbb{N}} est constante (The sequence is constant): cR, nN, un=c\exists c \in \mathbb{R},\ \forall n \in \mathbb{N},\ u_n = c

Would you like more details on any of these expressions?

Here are 5 related questions you might consider:

  1. What are the implications of a sequence being both bounded above and below?
  2. How does a constant sequence relate to bounded and monotonic sequences?
  3. Can an unbounded sequence still be increasing or decreasing? Why or why not?
  4. How would you describe a strictly increasing or strictly decreasing sequence using quantifiers?
  5. What is the relationship between a bounded sequence and its limit points?

Tip: Quantifiers are key in formalizing mathematical properties. "∀" means "for all" and "∃" means "there exists."
