Series
Problem 21 Prove or disprove:
P∞ P∞ P∞
(a) If n=1 an converges and n=1 bn diverges, then n=1 (an + bn ) diverges.
P∞ P∞ 1
(b) Assume that an > 0 for all n ∈ N. If n=1 an converges, then n=1 an diverges.
P∞ P∞ 1
(c) Assume that an > 0 for all n ∈ N. If n=1 an diverges, then n=1 an converges.
Problem 22 For each of the following series, determine whether it converges or diverges.

Subsequences
Problem 23
Hint: There are infinitely many convergent subsequences, but they can have only
two possible limits.
(b) Give an example of a sequence that has convergent subsequences with three different
limits.
