For the statement "convergence implies boundedness," the converse statement would be "boundedness implies convergence."

So, we are asking if "boundedness implies convergence" is a true statement.

Pf//

By way of contradiction, "boundedness implies convergence" is false.

Let the sequence (Xn) be defined as
Xn = 1 if n is even and
Xn = 0 if n is odd.
So, (Xn) = {X1,X2,X3,X4,X5,X6...} = {0,1,0,1,0,1,...}

Note that this is a divergent sequence.
Also note that for all n, -1 < Xn < 2

Therefore, the sequence (Xn) is bounded above by 2 and below by -1.

As we can see, we have a bounded function that is divergent. Therefore, by way of contradiction, we have proven the converse false.

Every uniformly convergent sequence of bounded function is uniformly bounded?

The answer is yes is and only if da limit of the sequence is a bounded function.The suficiency derives directly from the definition of the uniform convergence. The necesity follows from making n tend to infinity in |fn(x)|


Is every cauchy sequence is convergent?

Every convergent sequence is Cauchy. Every Cauchy sequence in Rk is convergent, but this is not true in general, for example within S= {x:x&euro;R, x&gt;0} the Cauchy sequence (1/n) has no limit in s since 0 is not a member of S.


Show that convergent sequence is bounded?

Wrong answer above. A limit is not the same thing as a limit point. A limit of a sequence is a limit point but not vice versa. Every bounded sequence does have at least one limit point. This is one of the versions of the Bolzano-Weierstrass theorem for sequences. The sequence {(-1)^n} actually has two limit points, -1 and 1, but no limit.


Prove that every convergent sequence is a Cauchy sequence?

The limits on an as n goes to infinity is aThen for some epsilon greater than 0, chose N such that for n>Nwe have |an-a| < epsilon.Now if m and n are > N we have |an-am|=|(am -a)-(an -a)|< or= |am -an | which is < or equal to 2 epsilor so the sequence is Cauchy.

Is every polygon with sides a triangle why or why not?

No. In geometry a polygon is a plane (flat) figure that is bounded by a closed path or circuit, composed of a finite sequence of straight line segments. Thus a polygon can have many sides, only that subset of polygons with 3 sides are triangles.


Is every continuous function is bounded in C?

No. y = 1/x is continuous but unbounded.

Will SNL have another new opening sequence for its 39th season?

SNL has a new opening sequence every season, as there a cast changes every single season, which affects the opening sequence.


Every continuous function is integrible but converse is not true every integrable function is not continuous?

That's true. If a function is continuous, it's (Riemman) integrable, but the converse is not true.
