Analysis Help



Hi, i'm quite stuck on some of these questions.
I have part solutions to some but I can't finish them.

Problem 1) I've done the first part I just can't show that lim(An) is a integer, other than noting that An is a integer sequence and is eventually constant so never exceeds the integer at which it is eventually constant at. I feel I need to write something mathematical, though.

Problem 2) I can use the Bolzano-Weierstrass Theorem to know that there is 1 convergent subsequence. I do not know how to find the other.

Problem 3) I can show a_2k, a_(2k+1) and a_3k all converge to the same limit. I do not know how to then show that a_n converges to this limit. I do not understand why the a_3k is involved, also. As surely a_3k is a subsequence where the terms are also included in a_2k and a_(2k+1).

Problem 4) I do not understand this. I just thought that if we say lim(an) = x and then by the shift rule we know lim(an+1) = x and so lim(an/(an+1)) = x/x = 1. Quite confused.

Any help would be very appreciated!
