1. Write downn the first five terms of the sequence in each case
(i) xn = (1)
n
(ii)xn = n21+2 .


n2 1
= 21 .
2. Using the definition prove that limn 2n
2 +3

3. Using the definition prove that limn

n
n+1

= 0.

4. Suppose limn xn = x. Prove that limn |xn | = |x|.

5. Using the definition prove that limn ( sinn n ) = 0.
6. Let xn =

1
log(n+1)

n. Using the definition show that limn xn = 0.

7. Give an example of an infinite sequence which does not converge. Explain why it does not converge.
