For xn>0 ∀n=1,2,3,... Prove lim iff \lim\limits_{n\rightarrow +\infty}\frac{1}{x_n}=+\infty
Working proof:
\forall M>0, \exists N such that x_n>M, \forall n \ge N
x_n>M\Rightarrow(1/x_n)<(1/M)
Choose N=[M]+1 \Rightarrow \frac{1}{x_n}<(1/x_N)=(1/x_{[M]+1})
I have no idea what the next step would be or if I'm even headed in the right direction...
Answer
Suppose x_n \to 0. Let M in \mathbb R+, there exists N such that for all n ≥ N, |x_n| ≤ 1/M, so for all n ≥ N, |1/x_n| ≥ M (since x > 0 \to 1/x decreases). So 1/x_n \to +\infty
The same for the other direction.
