Homework Sheet 8
submission: at the latest on Friday, December 13, 2024, at 10:00 am, via CMS

Problem 1 (6 points): Consider the sequence (an )n∈N which is defined by


√
an := n n − 1 for all n ∈ N.
q
Apply the binomial formula to (1 + an ) in order to prove that an ≤ n2 for all n ∈ N
n

with n ≥ 2 and deduce from this fact that


√
lim n n = 1.
n→∞

Problem 2 (4+(3+3) points):

(a) Consider the sequence (an )n∈N which is defined by

4 + 3n2
an := for all n ∈ N.
n(2n + 1)2
∞
1
 P
Verify that n n∈N
∈ O((an )n∈N ) and decide whether the series an is convergent
n=1
or not. Justify your answer!
(b) For each of the following series, determine all x ∈ R for which the series is convergent
and all x ∈ R for which the series is absolutely convergent. Justify your answers!
∞ ∞
X (−1)n+1 n
X (−1)n 2n+1
(i) x (ii) x
n=1
n n=0
(2n + 1)!

(Note that you do not need to calculate the sums of the convergent series.)

Problem 3 (8 points): Let U ⊆ R. Prove that U is closed if and only if the set U contains
all its accumulation points.
