# Math Help - Proof of Limit Properties

1. ## Proof of Limit Properties

Let {xn} as n tends to infinity be a sequence convergent to 0. Let {yn} as n tends to infinity be a bounded sequence. Show that:

lim as n tends to infinity(xnyn
)=0

And is is this true for all sequences of {yn
} as n tends to infinity or only those that are bounded? Can you provide a proof or counterexample for this

Here is a hint to get you started:

Since $y_n$ is bounded it is always less than some number lets call it M. i.e $|y_n| for all n

Now try to show that $|x_ny_n-0|< \epsilon$

3. I got that part, now I just need to figure out what happens when yn is unbounded.
Any hints?

The bounded part is needed.

$x_n=\frac{1}{n}, y_n=n^2$

$x_ny_n=n$ this is unbounded
