Hi,

Here's another question from my analsysi HW. I get that the two sequences are equal but I'm not sure how to write it out. Any help would be great.
Thanks.

Homework Statement



Prove that a sequence [itex]{a_n}[/itex] converges to 0 iff the sequence [itex]{\lvert a_n\rvert}[/itex] converges to 0.

Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution

 
Physics news on Phys.org
If [itex]a_n \rightarrow 0[/itex] you know that after some n [itex]|a_n|\leq \epsilon/2[/itex]

So what can you tell?

Please show your attempt. [This is as close to trivial as it can be]
