I know the Cauchy criterion for a convergent sequence. A Cauchy sequence is one in which the distance between successive terms becomes smaller and smaller. You can find a number N such that the terms after that, pairwise, have a a distance that is less than epsilon.
After looking at an example in the book, I was able to write this down. It would appear that the sequence converges to zero since the numerator is bounded by -1 and 1. It looks like the Cauchy criterion for convergent series is satisfied too since you can make m and n and a function of epsilon. However, I'm not too sure about my work.
