Example 4.20.  The sequence  [Graphics:Images/ComplexGeometricSeriesMod_gr_294.gif][Graphics:Images/ComplexGeometricSeriesMod_gr_295.gif]  has  [Graphics:Images/ComplexGeometricSeriesMod_gr_296.gif].  
We leave verification of this as an exercise.

Explore Solution 4.20.

In this case the sequence has  1  as its limit, and hence the limit supremum  is also  1.
