@electrokid @Spacelimbus please explain this

OpenStudy (anonymous):

* I will get back to this in a few, I am partially distracted at the moment, but I will return in approximately 10-15 minutes to check on this.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

k

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what are you supposed to find now? is there something after "a"?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ooh find: \[\lim_{n\to\infty}a_n\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so, we have \[ 0=\lim_{n\to\infty}|a_n|=\lim_{x\to\infty}\cases{-a_n\quad a_n<0\\ a_n\qquad a_n\ge} \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok did u look the attachment thats the question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thx...go further

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so, \[ \lim_{x\to\infty}-a_n=0=\lim_{x\to\infty}a_n \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

since \(a_n\) will always lie in this range, \[-|a_n|\le a_n\le |a_n|\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hence by Squeeze thorm, \[\lim_{x\to\infty}a_n=0\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

in the two posts above, the two a_n should be in the "absolute value" sign

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohk

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what about absolute value theorem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the part that says: \[-|a_n|\le a_n\le|a_n|\] is the absolute value theorem.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

got it thx...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolute_value_theorem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it says thats the same as "Squeeze thm"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lemme verify with @Spacelimbus

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep.
