Show that if $sum_{k=1}^{infty}(u_k)^2 lt 1$ then $sum_{k=1}^{infty}frac{2^{-k}}{1+3^{-k}-u_k} lt infty$












3















I need to show that if $sum_{k=1}^{infty}(u_k)^2 lt 1$ then $sum_{k=1}^{infty}frac{2^{-k}}{1+3^{-k}-u_k} lt infty$.




I tried using all convergence tests, but to no avail. There's probably some way to decompose the fraction so that you can directly use the convergence of the $u_i$ series, but I can't find that.



Can someone maybe help me please?

Note that the convergence of $sum_{k=1}^{infty}(u_k)^2$ implies that $u_kto 0$. Hence $3^{-k}-u_kto 0$ and there is $N>0$ such that for all $kgeq N$, $|3^{-k}-u_k|<1/2$. Then
$$frac{2^{-k}}{1+1/2}leq frac{2^{-k}}{1+3^{-k}-u_k}leq frac{2^{-k}}{1-1/2}.$$
Can you take it from here?



P.S. Since $sum_{k=1}^{infty}(u_k)^2<1$ then $|u_k|<1$ for each $kgeq1$, and it follows that the denominator $1+3^{-k}-u_k$ is always positive.
