It is easy to prove that if $\lim a_n=a$ then $\lim|a_n|=|a|$ by using $||a_n |-|a||\le|a_n-a|$, but I can't show that the converse is false.

    Note that the converse is always true iff $a=0$.2012-03-23

Hint: Look at the sequence $1,-1,1,-1,\ldots$.

    But u have to keep in mind that it holds when a=0, and when a is not zero the sequence will have a signal for$n$large enough!2012-03-23
