Hi i am given this as homework and i am not sure how to start. I think i know how to prove the second part, but how do i show that lim an and lim bn exists?

This was not a MATLAB question and should not have been posted to MATLAB Answers.

Hint:
an = bn - (bn-an) <= b1 - (bn-an)
bn = an + (bn-an) >= a1 + (bn-an)
and
bn-an -> 0
Thus an is bounded from above and bn is bounded from below.
What do you know about increasing sequences bounded from above and decreasing sequences bounded from below ?
Best wishes
Torsten.
