Question:
Prove if the positive series ∑ n=1 to ∞ a_n, ∑ n=1 to ∞ b_n both converge then ∑ n=1 to ∞ a_n*b_n converges...?

also: 2) If ∑ n=1 to ∞ a_n is a positive series that converges and m is a natural number, prove that ∑ n=1 to ∞ (a_n)^m also converges.

Thank You!

for the first question...

since the b series converges, there must be a number k such that b_n<1 for all n>=k

look at the sum from k to infinity of a_n*b_n. a_n*b_n < a_n since b_n<1.

since a_n from 1 to infinity converges, a_n from k to infinity certainly converges. the series a_n*b_n is bounded by this series, so it too must converge. now, adding on the finite quantity a_1*b_1+a_2*b_2+...+a_(k-1)*b_(k-1) will not make it diverge since it's just a finite quantity



for the second question...

again, there must be a threshold past which a_n is always < 1. looking past this threshold, a_n^m is always less than a_n, so this series is bounded by the convergent series a_n, just like in the first part

i think of that the sum is irrational. enable, a/b = a million/ok^p(a million) + a million/ok^p(2) + ...+a million/ok^p(n) + a million/ok^p(n+a million) +... for integers a and b.

This forces S
