real analysis - Prove that the sequence (bn) converges



Prove that if (an) converges and |annbn|<2 for all nN+ then (bn) converges.



Is the following proof valid?



Proof
Since (an) converges, (an) must be bounded, i.e. MR+ such that for each nN+, we have |an|<M.
Now, by the triangle inequality, |nbn| = |nbnan+an||nbnan|+|an|<2+M.
Hence, |bn0|<2+Mn.
Let ϵ>0 be given, and by the Archimedean Property of R, we can choose KN+ such that K>2+Mϵ.
Then, nKn>2+Mϵ|bn0|<ϵ.
Therefore (bn) converges, and its limit is 0.


Answer



Your proof is correct. In fact, once you have |bn|<M+2n it is clear that since the numerator is bounded one can make the right hand side <ϵ for arbitrarily small ϵ>0.
