real analysis - Prove that if limlimitsntoinfty xn = L, then limlimitsntoinfty |xn| = |L|.



This question has two other parts.



b) Give an example of a sequence (xn)n∈N such that (|xn
|)n∈N converges, but (xn)n∈N diverges.



c) Prove that if lim |x_n| = 0, then \lim \limits_{n \to \infty} x_n = 0.




I'm pretty sure we're supposed to use our definition for convergences, which says that Given a real number L, we say that (X_n) converges to L if for every \epsilon>0, there exists N∈\Bbb{N} such that for all n∈N satisfying n>N, we have |X_n-L|<\epsilon.


Answer



For the first part, just use the "left-sided" triangle inequality in the \delta-\epsilon definition.



For part b), the classical example is the sequence a_n=(-1)^n.



Part c) is trivial given ||x_n||=|x_n|<\epsilon implies convergence.
