Sequence
An ordered collection of numbers in a prescribed order defined by a function f(n)
The values, an are called terms

A recursively defined sequence: given the first term, all other terms are defined using that term. d1 = 3.5 and {dn}= dn+1

Convergence and Divergence of a sequence
We say that a sequence converges to a limit L if
If no limit exists then an diverges.If the terms increase without bound, {an} diverges to infinity

Increasing and Decreasing Sequences
•A sequence {an} is increasing if
an an1 for all n 1 a1 a2 a3 ...
•A sequence {an} is decreasing if
an an1 for all n 1 a1 a2 a3 ...
•A sequence {an} is monotonic if it is either always increasing or always decreasing

Monotonic? Sequences

Bounded Sequences
•A sequence {an} is bounded from above if
there is a number M such that an M for all n
•A sequence {an} is bounded from below if
there is a number M such that an M for all n
![Page 22: Sect. 9-1 sequences](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062810/56815e4c550346895dccc0ad/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Bounded Sequences
•A sequence {an} is called Bounded if it is bounded either from above or below. •If a sequence {an} is bounded
and monotonic,then it converges.
