CONVERGENCE OF SEQUENCES AND SERIES 77 We can negate this definition to prove that a particular sequence does not converge to zero. Example 5. Use the definition to prove that the sequence (1+(-1)")0 = (2,0, 2, 0, 2, .) does not converge to zero. Before we provide this proof, let's analyze what it means for a sequence (sn) to not converge to zero. Converging to zero means that any time a distance e >0 is given, we must be able to respond with a number N such that |s,| < E for every n > N. To have this not happen, we must be able to find some e >0 such that no choice of N will work. Of course, if we find such an ɛ, then any smaller one will fail to have such an N, but we only need one to mess us up. If you stare at the example long enough, you see that any e with 0 < e< 2 will cause problems. For our purposes, we will let e = 2. Proof: Let e = 2 and let N EN be any integer. If we let k be any non- negative integer with k > , thenn= 2k > N, but |1 + (–1)"| = 2. Thus no choice of N will satisfy the conditions of the definition for this ɛ, (namely that |1+ (-1)"| < 2 for all n > N) and so lim,0 (1+ (-1)") #0. Problem 60. Negate the definition of lim, $n = 0 to provide a formal definition for lim,+ Sn # 0. Problem 61. Use the definition to prove lim 0 100 #0.
