 Theorem 4.14
Let p be an accumulation point of A and assume that
an
d

for every scalar

 Proof:
We prove only part of (c) and (d)
To prove (c) we write:
f(x)g(x)- a b = [ f(x)- a][g(x)- b] + a[g(x)-b] + b[f(x)-a].

The triangle inequality and the Cauchy-Schwarz give us

0 |f(x) g(x)- a b| ||f(x)-a|| ||g(x)-b|| + ||a|| ||g(x)-b||
+ ||b|| ||f(x)-a||.

Each term on the right tends to 0 as

xp, so f(x)g(x) a b. This proves
(c).
 Proof:
To prove (d):
Note that:
||f(x)||- ||a|| = ||f(x)- a||

Note: Let f1,...,fn be n real-valued functions defined on A

And let f:ARn be the vector-valued function defined by
equation:

f(x) = (f1(x),f2(x),..,fn(x)) if xA.

Then f1,...,fn are called the components of f, and we also
write f= (f1,..fn) to denote this relationship.
 Proof:
If a= (a1,....,an), then for each
r= 1, 2,..,n we have:

These equalities show that

limxp f(x)= a if and only if
limxpfr(x)=a, for each r.
