There is sequence xn→a, what will be limn→∞xn+1xn
- a≠0,limn→∞xn+1xn=limn→∞xn+1limn→∞xn=aa=1;
a=0, suppose limn→∞xn+1xn=L:∀ϵ>0,∃N=N(ϵ)∀n>N:|L−xn+1xn|<ϵ, there are several cases:
a. |L|<1, then necessity for limit existance ∃N:∀n>N:|xn|>|xn+1| (sequence |xn| decreases monotonically starting from some N):
ϵ=1−|L|2>01−|L|2=ϵ>|xn+1xn−L|>|xn+1xn|−|L|1>1+|L|2>|xn+1xn||xn|>|xn+1|b. |L|>1, then sequence |xn| increases monotonically starting from some N, then xn diverges, and it contradict with xn→a, as result L≯ (actually |x_{n+1}| > |x_n| is necessity for |L| > 1 that can be used if there is no condition x_n \to a):
\epsilon = \frac{|L| - 1}{2} > 0\\ \frac{|L| - 1}{2} = \epsilon > |L - \frac{x_{n+1}}{x_n}| > |L| - |\frac{x_{n+1}}{x_n}|\\ |\frac{x_{n+1}}{x_n}| > \frac{|L| + 1}{2} > 1\\ |x_{n+1}| > |x_n|c. |L| = 1, I was not able to do any conclusions about x_n. But maybe I don't need to cover this case, due to p.1 - but I don't know how to reason about it.
Question: Can you check reasoning of 2a and 2b, and drop some hints about 2c?
