Prove that if a sequence cn converges to a limit L, then so does the same sequence with even n:
If limn→∞ cn=L then ∀ϵ>0,∃N>0 such that n>N⟹ |cn−L|<ϵ
If this is true, then it is true for all integer choices of n. So it is true for even n : n=2k, k∈N .
∴ 2k >N \implies |c_{2k}-L|<\epsilon
\therefore for all \epsilon>0,\exists M such that:
k>M \implies |c_{2k}-L|<\epsilon
\therefore \displaystyle{\lim_{n \to \infty}} c_{2n} = L
Answer
You did not explain why such M exists. It's not hard, though. You may take any natural number greater than or equal to \frac N2.
