Does Convergence of (sn) and (sntn) Imply (tn) Converges?

In summary, a sequence convergence proof is a mathematical method used to determine if a sequence of numbers approaches a specific value or limit. This is done by analyzing the behavior of the terms in the sequence and using mathematical principles such as the epsilon-delta definition of limit, the squeeze theorem, or the monotone convergence theorem. A sequence converges if there exists a finite limit or value that the terms approach, and it can only have one limit. Common mistakes in sequence convergence proofs include using incorrect principles and not clearly defining the sequence or its limit. It is important to carefully follow the steps and rules of convergence proofs to avoid these mistakes.

Hello was wondering if anyone could help me prove that:
Suppose (sn) converges to s not equal to 0 and ( sntn) converges to L. Prove that (tn) converges

Hello gsmith89 and welcome to the forums.

What can you say about sn, tn, and sntn in relation to (sn + tn)^2?

Have you looked at the algebraic limit theorem?
 

Related to Does Convergence of (sn) and (sntn) Imply (tn) Converges?

1. What is a sequence convergence proof?

A sequence convergence proof is a mathematical method used to determine if a sequence of numbers approaches a specific value or limit as the number of terms in the sequence increases. It involves using mathematical principles and theorems to show that the sequence converges to a specific value.

2. How do you know if a sequence converges?

A sequence converges if there exists a finite limit or value that the terms of the sequence approach as the number of terms increases. This can be determined by analyzing the behavior of the terms in the sequence, such as whether they are approaching a specific value or oscillating between two values.

3. What are the key components of a sequence convergence proof?

The key components of a sequence convergence proof include defining the sequence, determining the limit or value it is approaching, and using mathematical principles such as the epsilon-delta definition of limit, the squeeze theorem, or the monotone convergence theorem to prove the convergence of the sequence.

4. Can a sequence have multiple limits?

No, a sequence can only have one limit. However, a sequence may not have a limit at all, in which case it is considered to diverge.

5. What are some common mistakes made in sequence convergence proofs?

Some common mistakes made in sequence convergence proofs include using incorrect mathematical principles, not clearly defining the sequence or its limit, and assuming that a sequence converges without proper proof. It is important to carefully follow the steps and rules of convergence proofs to avoid these mistakes.
