Given the sequence ${b_n}$, let $lim_{n \to \infty}\ b_n = b$.
Suppose that the sequence ${a_n}$ and the number $a$ have the property for which there exists $M\in \mathbb{R}$ and there exists $N \in \mathbb{N}$ such that
$$|a_n - a| \leq M\cdot |b_n - b|, \ \forall n\in \mathbb{N}: \ n \geq N$$
Prove that the $\lim_{n \to \infty} \ a_n = a$.
I need to show that:
$$\forall \epsilon > 0 \ \ \exists N \in \mathbb{N}: \ \forall n \geq N: |a_n - a| < \epsilon$$
I know how to set $\epsilon$ such that $\epsilon > 0$.
I’m lost from here. Because ${b_n}$ converges I know
$|b_n - b| < \epsilon$
And I think it’s safe to assume:
$|b_n - b| \leq M\cdot |b_n - b|$.
So I could prove this either by showing
$$|a_n - a| \leq |b_n - b|$$
Or,
$$M \cdot |b_n - b| < \epsilon$$
But I’m not sure how to start either way. Any suggestions?
