Sequences and their Limit

1. Show that a sequence (xn ) converges to zero if and only if the sequence (|xn |)
converges to zero.

2. Show that the sequence ((−1)n ) diverges.

3. Check the convergence of the given sequences

n(n2 + 3) n2 + n sin n
(i) , (ii) .
n3 + 6 n2 + cos n
cos nπ
4. Evaluate the convergence of sequence 2 .
n +1
1 1 1
5. Find limn→∞ [ n1 (1 + 2 2 + 3 3 + · · · + n n )] using Cauchys First Theorem on Limits.

6. Find limit of the Sequence

(−1)n
13 − √1 +
n n

.
n+ 5.2

7. Let x1 = a > 0 and xn+1 = xn + for n ∈ N. Determine whether (xn ) converges
xn
or diverges.
1 1 1 1
8. Let xn = 2 + 2 + 2 + · · · + 2 for each n ∈ N. Prove that (xn ) is increasing and
1 2 3 n
bounded and hence converges.
