Prove that the sequence zn, where zn:=xn−yn, converges and lim
Also, when all limits when n\to\infty.
Here is what I have so far:
let x=\lim(x_n), y=\lim(y_n), z=x-y
let \epsilon>o, find an M_1 such that for all n\geq M_1, we have |x_n-x|<\frac{\epsilon}{2};find an M_2 such that for all n\geq M_2, we have |y_n-y|<\frac{\epsilon}{2}; take M:=\max\{M_1, M_2\}
For all n\geq M we have:
|z_n-z|=|(x_n-y_n)-(x-y)|=|x_n-x-y_n+y|≥ |x_n-x|-|y_n-y|
I don't know how to proceed from here, I want to get something like |z_n-z|<\epsilon, to complete the proof, right?
Also, is this sufficient enough to prove the second part of the question--the limit part
Please help me here. Thank you!
Answer
Hint:
You're very close! Note that:
|z_n-z|=|(x_n-y_n)-(x-y)|=|(x_n-x)-(y_n-y)|\leq|x_n-x|+|y_n-y|
It was the other side of the triangular inequality!
Please, use MathJax when typing math formulas! :)
