?The meaning of the decimal representation of a number \(0 . d_{1} d_{2} d_{3} \ldots\)

Chapter 10, Problem 45

(choose chapter or problem)

The meaning of the decimal representation of a number \(0 . d_{1} d_{2} d_{3} \ldots\) (where the digit \(d_{i}\) is one of the numbers \(0,1,2, \ldots, 9)\) is that

                            \(0 \cdot d_{1} d_{2} d_{3} d_{4} \ldots=\frac{d_{1}}{10}+\frac{d_{2}}{10^{2}}+\frac{d_{3}}{10^{3}}+\frac{d_{4}}{10^{4}}+\ldots\)

Show that this series converges for all choices of \(d_{1}, d_{2}, \ldots\)
