uniqueness of limit of sequence
If a number sequence has a limit, then the limit is uniquely determined.
Proof. For an indirect proof (http://planetmath.org/ReductioAdAbsurdum), suppose that a sequence
has two distinct limits and . Thus we must have both
and
But when exceeds the greater of and , we can write
This inequality an impossibility, whence the antithesis made in the begin is wrong and the assertion is .
