Every convergent sequence is bounded is the converse is true? - Answers

For the statement "convergence implies boundedness," the converse statement would be "boundedness implies convergence."So, we are asking if "boundedness implies convergence" is a true statement.Pf//By way of contradiction, "boundedness implies convergence" is false.Let the sequence (Xn) be defined asXn = 1 if n is even andXn = 0 if n is odd.So, (Xn) = {X1,X2,X3,X4,X5,X6...} = {0,1,0,1,0,1,...}Note that this is a divergent sequence.Also note that for all n, -1 < Xn < 2Therefore, the sequence (Xn) is bounded above by 2 and below by -1.As we can see, we have a bounded function that is divergent. Therefore, by way of contradiction, we have proven the converse false.Q.E.D.
