In this problem, we're told that the limit as n goes to infinity of some sequence of numbers zn is equal to a.
00:16
And we're asked to prove that the limit of n goes to infinity of the following, 1 over n times z1 plus z2 plus dot dot dot plus zn is also equal to a.
00:51
Well, the first thing i'm going to do is i'm going to rewrite this in a nicer form using summation notation.
00:57
So this is the limit as n goes to infinity of 1 over n, the sum from i equals 1 to n of z i.
01:19
And now what we want to do is show that this limit is equal to a.
01:24
So the first thing i'm going to do is recall what the limit function, limit means in terms of an epsilon delta proof.
01:32
This limit at the top means that for all epsilon greater than zero there exists a capital n which is in the the integers such that the difference between zn and a is less than epsilon for all n greater than this capital n.
02:06
So this is the definition of a limit.
02:08
This means that there exists some n such that after that every single point in the sequence gets closer to the limiting limiting value.
02:17
And now we want to use this to prove that the limit of this sequence is a.
02:24
And so what we need to do is we need to show that there exists an n, a capital n, for any epsilon that the difference between this and a is less than any given epsilon.
02:41
One.

So let us consider this first...
