Prove: if $\sum a_n$ is absolutely convergent and $\{b_n\}$ is bounded, then $\sum a_nb_n$ is convergent.

My working:

$|b_n|\le B$ for some $B\ge 0$.

$|a_n||b_n|<B|a_n|$

Since $\sum|a_n|$ converges, $\sum|a_n||b_n|=\sum|a_nb_n|$ converges.

So, $\sum a_nb_n$ converges. (Absolute convergence theorem)

Is that okay?

Yes it's OK. Just one thing we have in general $|a_n|\cdot |b_n|\leq |a_n|\cdot B$ in general (this inequality is not strict in general).
 
I posted this question on math-stackexchange but apparently I asked something stupid and I was downvoted. I still don't have an answer to my question so I hope someone in here can help me or at least explain me why I am asking something stupid. I started studying Complex Analysis and came upon the following theorem which is a direct consequence of the Cauchy-Goursat theorem: Let ##f:D\to\mathbb{C}## be an anlytic function over a simply connected region ##D##. If ##a## and ##z## are part of...
