Homework Statement



Asssume (an) is a bounded sequence with the property that every convergent subsequence of (an) converges to the same limit a. Show that (an) must converge to a.

The Attempt at a Solution


If the subsequence converges to a we have , we have:
[tex]\left|ank-a\right|[/tex]=a.

Choose [tex]n_k[/tex] large enough such that [tex]n_k \geq k \geq n_o[/tex]. You should be to use this to show that your sequence converges.
