Lecture 3 : Monotone Sequence and Limit theorem [ Section 3.2 : Limit Theorems on Sequences ]
Hence, .
Using binomial theorem, we get .
Thus, .
Hence, by the Sandwich Theorem, as .
(ii)
For x > 0, the sequence is convergent and . To see this, let us first suppose that
x > 1.Then, for every . Let .
Once again, for every .
.
Hence, and by Sandwitch theorem, , i.e., Next, suppose .
Then for every n. Let
.
Once again, for every ,
.
