Exercise 8.3.7

Show that lim c n = 0 but n = 0 c n diverges.

Answers

We showed in Exercise 2.7.10 (b) that lim c n = 0 . We can show that n = 0 c n diverges by comparison against the harmonic series ( h n ) , which we modify for convenience to define h n = 1 ( n + 1 ) . We have c 0 h 0 , and note that

c n c n 1 = 2 n 1 2 n n n + 1 = h n h n 1

for n 1 , so by induction c n h n .
