Let (x_n), (y_n) be bounded sequences.

a) Prove that lim inf x_n + lim inf y_n ≤ lim inf(x_n + y_n) ≤ lim sup(x_n + y_n) ≤ lim sup x_n + lim sup y_n. Give example where all inequalities are strict.

b)Let (z_n) be the sequence defined recursively by z₁ = z₂ = 1, z_n+2 = √ z_n+1 + √ z_n, n = 1, 2, . . . . Prove that (z_n) is convergent and find its limit. Hint; argue that 0 < z_n < 4 for all n and use part (a).

Let (xn) be a sequence with positive terms. (a) Prove the following: lim inf xn+1/ xn ≤ lim inf n√ xn ≤ lim sup n√xn ≤ lim sup xn+1/ xn . (b) Give example of (xn) where all above inequalities are strict. Hint; you may consider the following sequence xn = 2n if n even and xn = 1 if n odd.
