Term
Sequence
Definition
a function whose domain is THE set of positive integers
Term
limit L
Definition
a sequence has a limit L if for and E>0 , the re exits a number N>0 such that whenever n>N, then [an-L]
Term
If a sequence {an} has a limit, the sequence is said to be convergent and an converges to that limit
Definition
If the sequence is not convergent, it is divergent
Term
Theorem 1
Definition
Let an = f(n).

If lim f(x) = L and f is defined for every positive integer, then lim an = L
Term
Theorem 2
Definition
if {an} and [bn} are convergent sequences and c is a constant then:

lim c = c

lim (c an) = c lim an

lim (an +/- bn) = lim an +/- lim bn

lim (an * bn) = lim an * lim bn

lim (an/bn) = (lim an) / lim (bn)
Term
a sequence is said increasing if...
Definition
an < an+1 for all n
Term
a sequence is said to be decreasing if
Definition
an > an+1 for all n
