Homework Statement



Show that if x=(x1, x2,...) and y=(y1, y2,...) [tex]\in[/tex] [tex]\ell[/tex]2 then The sum from i=1 to infinity of |xiyi| converges

Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution



since x and y are elements of l^2 then The sum from i=1 to infinity of (xi)2 and (yi)2 both converge, which implies that the sum of the product xy converges

Is this right? and more importantly, is it enough? Thank you for your help.

Restating the problem is hardly a proof. Think about using Cauchy-Schwarz.
