Question #310416

All strictly monotonically decreasing sequences are convergent.



True or false with full explanation

Expert's answer

Consider xn=n,n1x_n=-n,n\geq 1

The sequence is obviously strictly monotonically decreasing, and

limnxn=\underset{n\rightarrow \infty}{\lim}x_n=-\infty

Thus it is not convergent.

The statement is false.
