Linear_Combination_of_Convergent_Series

Let $\sequence {a_n}_{n \mathop \ge 1}$ and $\sequence {b_n}_{n \mathop \ge 1}$ be sequences of real numbers. Let the two series $\displaystyle \sum_{n \mathop = 1}^\infty a_n$ and $\displaystyle \sum_{n \mathop = 1}^\infty b_n$ converge to $\alpha$ and $\beta$ respectively. Let $\lambda, \mu \in \R$ be real numbers. Then the series $\displaystyle \sum_{n \mathop = 1}^\infty \paren {\lambda a_n + \mu b_n}$ converges to $\lambda \alpha + \mu \beta$.
