an and bn are sequences of non-negative terms
an+1an≤bn+1bn for all n
If ∞∑n=1bn converges, prove that ∞∑n=1an converges
If ∞∑n=1an diverges, prove that ∞∑n=1bn diverges
I was thinking of trying the ratio test. For the 1st part, ∑bn converges, which implies that lim is less than or equal to 1. If it is less than 1, than the same limit for \frac{a_{n+1}}{a_n} is less than one, which implies \sum\limits_{n=1}^\infty a_n converges. But I am not sure what to do about if the limit equals 1.
Thanks for the help
