Let {an} be a monotonic sequence of real numbers. If Ban a1 = a, and an+1 = a + with a, 8 E Rt, aan +B which of the following is true for the limit of the sequence {a,}? (a) The limit is a + B. a2 +B (b) The limit is 3 (c) The limit does not exist. a + Va? + 43 (d) The limit is 2 a + Va? + B (e) The limit is 4

Use the Squeeze Theorem to find the limit of the sequence in the image I really need to use the squeeze theorem for this one i would really aprreaciate it if the squeeze theorem is used as i can only do it that way

Real Analysis Suppose {an} is a bounded sequence of Real numbers. If Lim(Supan)=M as n approaches infinity prove that for every Epsilon>0, we have an<M+Epsilon for all but a finite number of values of n. I am told that this is the ratio test using Limit Supremum. I don't understand this statement. If M is the Lim of the Supremum, then how can some element of an be between M and M+Epsilon? Isn't the Supremum the Greatest Lower Bound? Meaning that there are no elements above the Supremum?
