(a) If $ \left \{ a_n \right\} $ is convergent, show that $ \displaystyle\lim_{n\to\infty} a_{n+1} = \displaystyle\lim_{n\to\infty} a_n $ (b) A sequence $ \left\{ a_n \right\} $ is defined by $ a_1 = 1 $ and $ a_{n + 1} = 1/(1 + a_n) $ for $ n \ge 1. $ Assuming that $ \left\{ a_n \right\} $ is convergent, find its limit.
