Let be two functions $ f,g:\mathbb{R}_{\ge 0 }\longrightarrow\mathbb{R} $ having that properties that $ f $ is continuous, $ g $ is nondecreasing and unbounded, and for any sequence of rational numbers $ \left( x_n \right)_{n\ge 1} $ that diverges to $ \infty , $ we have $$ 1=\lim_{n\to\infty } f\left( x_n \right) g\left( x_n \right) . $$ Prove that $1=\lim_{x\to\infty } f\left( x \right) g\left( x \right) . $ [i]Radu Gologan[/i]
The number $x$ from $[0,1]$ is written as an infinite decimal fraction. Having rearranged its first five digits after the point we can obtain another fraction that corresponds to the number $x_1$. Having rearranged five digits of $x_k$ from $(k+1)$-th till $(k+5)$-th after the point we obtain the number $x_{k+1}$. a) Prove that the sequence $x_i$ has limit. b) Can this limit be irrational if we have started with the rational number? c) Invent such a number, that always produces irrational numbers, no matter what digits were transposed.
