Question: Let \(\displaystyle \{ a_n \}_{n=0}^{\infty}\) be a sequence of positive real numbers. Prove that if \(\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} a_n\) converges, then so does \(\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} {a_n}^r,\) where \(r\) is a positive integer.
What I have tried:
I know that if \(\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} a_n\) converges, it means that \(\displaystyle \{ a_n \}\) goes to 0, which is important because it tell us that when \(a_n\) is less than 1, \({a_n}^{r}\) is also less than 1.
Also, the fact that \(a_n\) approaches 0 as \(n\) approaches infinity allows us to conclude that there exists a positive integer \(N\) for which \(a_n < 1\) for all \(n \ge N\), meaning that \({a_n}^r\) is also less than 1.
Not sure what to do from here, though. :(
