I am new to the world of proofs and I'm working on an assignment for Analysis. While I understand the concept of convergence I'm finding that writing the proofs is difficult for me and I want to ask if my logic is sound here and what I can improve on.
Problem: For each positive integer, let
. Show that the sequence
converges to 1.
Proof:
To show thatconverges to 1, we must show that if
is an open interval containing 1, then
a positive integer
such that if
is a positive integer and
, then
. Let
be an open interval containing 1 and let
and
. Let
be the interval
,
. Then
in order for
. Since
,
. And
. Since
is positive, we can say
. Now let
. Since for all
,
converges to 1.
A few things I'm concerned about are at the end when I let; if I say this is it implied that
is a positive integer, or can that not be assumed because we don't know that 1 evenly divides
? Also, I showed for
instead of
but because of the way I formed the interval I'm not sure how to fix that. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!
