SUMMARY
The forum discussion revolves around proving the limit theorem for a sequence {a_n} that converges to a non-zero limit A, specifically demonstrating that lim sqrt(a_n) = sqrt(A). Participants explore the epsilon-delta definition of limits, utilizing the inequality |sqrt(a_n) - sqrt(A)| = |a_n - A| / |sqrt(a_n) + sqrt(A)|. They emphasize the importance of ensuring A > 0 and suggest choosing epsilon' = epsilon * sqrt(A) to facilitate the proof. The conversation highlights the necessity of establishing bounds and correctly applying limit theorems to complete the proof.
