1 In this section, we will introduce the idea of an infinite sequence and what it means to say one converges or diverges.

3 For example:

4 The index variable can be anything; all mean the same thing. The starting index is insignificant. The first term may be We will be interested in the long–run behavior.

5

6 Determine whether each of the following sequences converge.

7

8

9 Show that the sequenceconverges to 1.

10 Suppose the sequence is nondecreasing and bounded above by A. Then converges to some value ≤ A. Suppose the sequence is nonincreasing and bounded below by B. Then converges to some value ≥ B.

11 Consider defined by a 1 = 1 and. Show that converges and the limit is ≤ 4.
