Tutorial Problems

(1) Find the limit of the following sequences where the n-th term is given by

an
n √ √ √ n
k!
n( n + 1 − n) (d) (−1)n n n
P P
(a) n! (a ∈ R) (b) 2k
(c) (e) 2n+1 (f) n2 +k
k=1 k=1

(2) Find all the limit points of the following sets:


√
(a) Q ∩ [0, 1] (b) { n2n+1 : n ∈ N} (c) {x ∈ Q+ : x ≤ 2} (d) R \ [a, b] (e) P ∩ [0, 1]
where P denotes the set of irrational numbers.

(3) True or False: Every sequence in R has a monotonic subsequence.

(4) True or False: For a given sequence (xn ) if |xn+1 − xn | → 0 (as n → ∞) then (xn ) is convergent.

(5) Find the limit of the following sequence {xn }n , as n → ∞ defined by


n2 n2 n2
xn := + + · · · + .
n3 + n + 1 n3 + n + 2 n3 + 2n

(6) Let a, b ∈ R and 0 < a < b. Then, discuss the convergence of the sequence {xn } as n → ∞, given
by

xn := (an + bn ) n .

(7) True or False: If (an ) and (bn ) are two convergent sequences then (an bn ) is also convergent.

(8) Prove that if (an ) is a sequence of real numbers (an , 0∀n) such that lim | aan+1

(13) True or False: If (an ) and (bn ) are two sequences such that (an ) is convergent and (bn ) is bounded,
