Homework Statement


Let lim f(x)=a as x appr. infinity
Let xn be a sequence so that lim xn=infinity as n appr. infinity. Prove using definitions that then lim f(xn)=a as n appr. infinity.

The Attempt at a Solution


I have had hard time trying to grasp how to begin with this...

Because lim f(x)=a as x appr. infinity there

And that is good otherwise the statement would be wrong.

I would try to use the elementary definitions of convergence for the function and the sequence.
