Let ∑∞k=1ak be a series of real numbers. Suppose that ∑∞k=1akbk converges for every bounded sequence {bk} ? Prove that ∑∞k=1ak converges absolutely.
Here is my thought process:
Since {bk} is bounded, every |bk| ≤ M for all k.
So ∑∞k=1|akbk| = ∑∞k=1|ak||bk| ≤ ∑∞k=1|ak|M = M∑∞k=1|ak| and since ∑∞k=1|akbk| converges, ∑∞k=1|ak| also converges.
However, I am having a hard time figuring out how to prove absolute convergence. I realize that they are similar questions on this website but they're asking to prove that ∑∞k=1akbk converges, rather than ∑∞k=1ak converging absolutely. Would really love any help, I'm quite stuck!
