Convergence of a Sequence
A sequence (an) converges to a real number a if, for every positive number ε, there exists an N ∈ N such that whenever n ≥ N it follows that |an - a| < ε.
Bounded Sequence
A sequence (xn) is bounded if there exists a number M > 0 such that |xn| ≤ M for all n ∈ N.
Every convergent sequence is ________.
Bounded
Increasing Sequence
A sequence (an) is increasing if an ≤ an+1 for all n ∈ N.
Decreasing Sequence
A sequence (an) is decreasing if an ≥ an+1 for all n ∈ N.
Monotone
A sequence is monotone if it is either increasing or decreasing.
Monotone Convergence Theorem
If a sequence is monotone and bounded, then it converges.
An increasing sequence of real numbers which is bounded above, ________.
Converges
A decreasing sequence of real numbers which is bounded below, _________.
Converges
Divergence of a Sequence
A sequence (an) will diverge if it does not converge.
