Hi, Eric:

Did you have a particular sequence in mind?

Or a particular property like "Cauchy sequence"?

Yes,it's Cauchy sequence.Thank you

That a sequence can converge to at most
one point is a property of Hausdorff spaces.

Yes. Assume a sequence s converges to x and to y and x /= y.
Then there's some disjoint open sets U,V separating x and y.

As s must eventually be in U and also eventually in V,
a friendly contradiction arises forth for the finish.

_What_ sequence? Some sequences have more than one
limit point.

A given sequence has at most one limit (some sequences do not
have a limit, because they have more than one limit point...)

What did the problem actually ask?
