hi every body
show if Xn→x then lXnl→lxl hint use trangle inequality
2/ show
if lXnl→0 then Xn →0

show by example that lXnl fore all n in N MAY CONVERGE and Xn may not converge

Use the triangle inequality.
||a|-|b||< |a-b|

These questions are extremely trivial.

There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
