2.2 Algebra of Limits 67
Let no= max{n 1 ,n2}. Then
n 2:: no =? n 2:: n1 and n 2:: n2
c c
::::} lxn - LI < 2 and IYn -Ml < 2
=? l(xn -L) + (Yn--:-M)I < c (Why?)
=? l(xn+Yn)-(L+M)l<c
Therefore, lim n-+oo (xn + Yn) = L + M = n-+oo lim Xn+ nlim -+oo Yn·
( c) Exercise 11.
(d) Let £ > 0. Since {xn} converges, it is bounded; say that 'Vn E N,
lxnl:::; B, where B > 0.
c
Since Xn --t L , 3n1 EN 3 n 2:: n1 =? lxn -LI< 2 (!M! + l) ·
c
Since Yn--+ M, 3 n2 EN 3 n 2:: n2 =? IYn -Ml< 2 B.
Let no= max{n1,n2}. Then
n ;:::: no =? n ;:::: n1 and n 2:: n2
