Using the Monotone Convergence Theorem! | Real Analysis

Показать описание
Let's see an awesome example of the monotone convergence theorem in action! We'll look at a sequence that seems to converge, as its terms change by smaller and smaller amounts, but it isn't clear what it converges to. Since we don't have a clue how we might express its limit, we cannot use our typical method of just proving it converges using the definition of the limit of a sequence. Instead, we'll prove it is monotone increasing and bounded, and thus converges by the monotone convergence theorem! This example is taken from Real Analysis by Jay Cummings. Highly recommended textbook!

hello sir, can you give me one example of monotone convergence theorem in daily life?

But the theorem says: if Xn is increasing and bounded above, then it converges to a finite limit. In your example, an is increasing and bounded below……
