Given that xn is a real sequence, sn=x0+x1+⋯+xnn+1 and sn converges, an=xn−xn−1, nan converges to 0, and xn−sn=1n+1∑ni=1iai, prove xn converges, and that xn and sn converge to the same limit.
Since I don't know anything about the sequences increasing, decreasing, or being positive, I was thinking that I can show that 1n+1∑ni=1iai converges, so then xn will be the sum of two convergent sequences and so it must converge, but I don't know how to show 1n+1∑ni=1iai converges, or if this is even the right way to go about this problem.
Also since sn converges, it is bounded so maybe I can use that fact, but I'm not sure how that could help.
I also showed that an must converge to 0 as well using the squeeze theorem, but I don't know if that helps either.
Any hints would be great. I have been stuck on this for days.
