Please do #2 but refer to #1 to get lemma A

1. Prove the following lemma:
Lemma A. Let {xn}-1 be a sequence of real numbers. We define two new
sequences {En}1 and {On} as:
n=1
n=1
n=1
Vn e Zt, En = x2n)
Vn E Zt, On = x2n-1
%3D
• IF the sequences {En}=1 and {On}=1 are both convergent to the same limit,
• THEN the sequence {xn}n=1 is also convergent.
Suggestion: Use the definition of limit.

2. Let {an}=l be a decreasing sequence of positive numbers with limit 0. I define a new
sequence {xn}= as follows:
n=1
n=1
X1 = a1
Vn E Zt, xn+1 = Xn + (-1)"an+1
%3D
Prove that the sequence {xn}n=1 satisfies the hypotheses of Lemma A, and hence is it con-
vergent.
