Let F be the field of real numbers and let V be the set of all sequences:

(a_1, a_2, ..., a_n, ...), a_i belongs to F, where equality, addition and scalar multiplication are defined component wise. Then V is a vector space over F.

Let W = {(a_1, a_2, ..., a_n, ...) belongs to V | lim n -> infinity a_n = 0}.

Prove that W is a subspace of V.
