Show that if xn≥0 and the limit of ((−1)nxn) exists, then (xn) convergent to 0.
I don't have a single clue to solve the problem. I have looking back about monotone sequence, Cauchy sequence, and bounded one, but seem don't lead to this. Please help. Regards
Answer
Since an≥0 we have, an=|(−1)nan|. If a sequence converges to L then its absolute value convergers to |L|, due to the continuity of the absolute value function.
In your case L=0 due to the oscillation of (−1)nan.
