Just as Theorem 8 says that the limit of a product is the product of the
limits, we can prove the analogue for quotients.

Consider t- t - . We are faced with the same dilemma as before; we
need to get bounded above. This means we need to get 6 bounded away
from zero (at least for large enough n).
This can be done as follows. Since b 0, then > 0. Thus, by the definition
of lim, b = 6, there exists N1 such that if n> N1, then |6|-||< 6-b<

provided we make n large enough.

Problem 70. Prove Theorem 3
These theorems allow us to compute limits of complicated sequences and
rigorously verify that these are, in fact, the correct limits without resorting to
the definition of a limit.
Problem 71. Identify all of the theorems implicitly used to show that
3n - 100n +1
Sn+ 4n? - 7
n (3 - +) 3
- lim (5+-)
Notice that this presumes that all of the individual limits ezist. This will become
evident as the limit is decomposed.
There is one more tool that will prove to be valuable.
Theorem 10. (Squeeze Theorem for Sequences) Let (r.). (,), and (t.)

The Squeeze Theorem holds even if r. S . St, holds for only sufficiently
large n; Le., forn larger than some fixed Ng. This is true because when you
find an Ni that works in the original proof, this can be modified by choosing

use the Squeeze Theorem.

Example 7. Prove lim -0.
pd
Proof: Notice that 0< <a = 2. Since lim 0 = 0= lim , then by
the Squeeze Theorem, lim -0.
Notice that this proof is completely rigorous. Also notice that this is the
proper way to use the Squeeze Theorem. Here is an example of an improper
use of the Squeeze Theorem.
