(i) Let be an integer. Show that
(ii) Let us say that an irrational number is badly approximable if there is some constant such that
for all and for all integers . Show that if the integers in the continued fraction expansion are bounded then is badly approximable.
Give, with proof, an example of an irrational number which is not badly approximable.
[Standard facts about continued fractions may be used without proof provided they are stated clearly.]
