[Solution] (a) Give the definition that a sequence a_n is a Cauchy sequence. (b) Let f be a differentiable function on (0,1) such that |f^prime(x)| ≤q


Question: (a) Give the definition that a sequence \(\left\{a_{n}\right\}\) is a Cauchy sequence.

(b) Let \(f\) be a differentiable function on \((0,1)\) such that \(\left|f^{\prime}(x)\right| \leq 1 .\) Use the mean value theorem to show that, for every natural number m, n,

\[\left|f\left(\frac{1}{m}\right)-f\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)\right| \leq\left|\frac{1}{m}-\frac{1}{n}\right|\]

(c) Let \(f\) be the same as in (b). Let \(a_{n}=f\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)\). Prove that \(\left\{a_{n}\right\}\) is a Cauchy sequence (Hint: use (b))
