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

a1,a2,a3,

has two distinct limits a and b.  Thus we must have both

|an-a|<|a-b|2for alln> some n1

and

|an-b|<|a-b|2for alln> some n2

But when n exceeds the greater of n1 and n2, we can write

|a-b|=|a-an+an-b||a-an|+|an-b|<|a-b|2+|a-b|2=|a-b|.
