Homework Statement



I have no idea
I wish If someone can help me with proving that the limit of nth term of a seq. an = to the limit of an+1

Homework Equations



we might use that an is greater of smaller than the other term which is an+1

The Attempt at a Solution


we might suppose any sequn. ??

You could use the definition of limit.

[tex]\lim_{n \to \infty} a_n = L[/tex]
iff for any [itex]\epsilon > 0[/itex] there exists an [itex]N = N_\epsilon[/itex] such that [itex]|a_n - L| < \epsilon[/itex] whenever n > N.

Now suppose that
[tex]\lim_{n \to \infty} a_n = L[/tex]
and let [itex]\epsilon > 0[/itex].
Can you now prove that
[tex]\lim_{n \to \infty} a_{n + 1} = L[/tex]
?
