Homework Statement


Show that a sequence Sn will converge to a limit L if and only if Sn - L converges to 0

Homework Equations



{Sn} converges to L if and only if {Sn - L } converges to 0

The Attempt at a Solution



Is it enough to just say

{Sn} converges to L if and only if |Sn - L| < \epsilon if and only if |(Sn - L) - 0| < \epsilon if and only if {Sn - L}$ converges to 0

I'm learning this off a random pdf so I don't have the answers.

Is this enough? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Also is there a way to turn on Latex?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
since Sn converges to L, then :
lim Sn = L ... (1)
for the sequence {Sn-L}
lim ( Sn - L ) = lim Sn - lim L = L - L = 0
so {Sn-L} converges to 0

its looks easy for me, or i missed something :S
 
Prove $$\int\limits_0^{\sqrt2/4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx = \frac{\pi^2}{8}.$$ Let $$I = \int\limits_0^{\sqrt 2 / 4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx. \tag{1}$$ The representation integral of ##\arcsin## is $$\arcsin u = \int\limits_{0}^{1} \frac{\mathrm dt}{\sqrt{1-t^2}}, \qquad 0 \leqslant u \leqslant 1.$$ Plugging identity above into ##(1)## with ##u...
