SUMMARY
For the sequence x(n) defined under the condition 0 < r < 1 and the inequality |x(n+1) - x(n)| < r^n for all n, it is established that x(n) is a Cauchy sequence. The definition of a Cauchy sequence requires that for every ε > 0, there exists an N such that for all m, n > N, |x(m) - x(n)| < ε. By applying the given inequality, one can demonstrate that the terms of the sequence become arbitrarily close as n increases, fulfilling the Cauchy criterion.
