At some point in the proof of the second Borel-Cantelli Lemma the the following inequality is mentioned:



$$...=expbigl ( sum_{m=n}^klog(1-P(A_m)bigr ) leq exp bigl (-sum_{m=n}^kP(A_m) bigr)$$



How do I this inequality? Some simple logarithmic calculation rules?

          Note that





          • $log (1-x) =- sum_{n=1}^{infty}frac{x^n}{n} leq -x$ for $0 leq x<1$
            $$Rightarrow expbigl ( sum_{m=n}^klog(1-P(A_m)bigr ) leq expbigl ( sum_{m=n}^k -P(A_m)bigr ) = exp bigl (-sum_{m=n}^kP(A_m) bigr)$$
