    How do I prove the convergence of a Cauchy sequence using a telescoping sum?

    I see! so I make it like this: \frac{1}{4^N} < \epsilon \frac{1}{4}\ln\left(\frac{1}{\epsilon}\right) < N Or in other words, to answer you question I choose: N>0.25\ln(100)>1.15, so N \geq 2 Thank you so much, sorry for not being any good at the simple part. I'm a mech engineering...

    How do I prove the convergence of a Cauchy sequence using a telescoping sum?

    So is it just something like this? \frac{4}{3}\left(\frac{1}{4^m} - \frac{1}{4^n}\right) \leq \frac{1}{3\cdot4^N} or even just this: \frac{4}{3}\left(\frac{1}{4^m} - \frac{1}{4^n}\right) \leq \frac{1}{4^N} I'm fairly certain we need to make this stuff pretty water tight in this course, so I'm...

    How do I prove the convergence of a Cauchy sequence using a telescoping sum?

    Homework Statement My problem is this, you are given that for a sequence the following is true: \left|x_{n} - x_{n+1}\right| < \frac{1}{4^{n}} So its an obvious case to prove the sequence is Cauchy. Homework Equations So I'll state the stuff just for the sake of it...
