Limit of Root of Positive Real Number

Chapter $\S 5$: Subsequences
$\S 5.4$: Example
In example $4.4$ we showed that, if $x > 0$, then $x^{1 / n} \to 1$ as $n \to \infty$. We prove this again by a different method. As in example $4.4$ we need only consider the case $x \ge 1$.


Convergent Real Sequence: Exercise: $x_{n + 1} = \dfrac k {1 + x_n}$

Chapter $\S 5$: Subsequences
$\S 5.7$: Solution to Exercise $(3)$
It is easily shown by induction that $k > x_n > 0$ ($n = 1, 2, \ldots$).
