Suppose that

lim an = a
n

and

lim bn = b . n

Prove that

lim an bn = ab .
n

Proof: First, since the sequences converge there are bounds M1 and M2 such that |a| M1 and |bn| M2 for all n. So, given > 0 choose N = N( ) so that

for n

|an -a| < /(M2 +1), |bn - b| < /(M1 +1) N( ). Then |an bn - a b| =|(an -a +a) bn - a b| = |( an -a)bn +a(bn - b)| ||( an -a)bn| + |a(bn - b)| M2 /(M2 +1) +M1 /(M1 +1) < + = 2 .

That is, after replacing by /2, |an bn - a b| < for n N( ).
