  1. Difference between monotonic and non-monotonic sequences

    Show that the following sequences is monotonic. Is it an increasing or decreasing sequence?
    1. {n2 n^2 }
    2. an=13na_n= \frac{1}{3^n}
    3. {nn+1}n=1∞ \{\frac{n}{n+1}\}_{n=1}^{\infty}
    4. {1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, ...}
  2. Difference between bounded, bounded above, and bounded below

    Determine whether the sequences are bounded below, bounded above, both, or neither
    1. an=n(−1)na_n=n(-1)^n
    2. an=(−1)nn2a_n=\frac{(-1)^n}{n^2}
    3. an=n3a_n=n^3
    4. an=−n4 a_n=-n^4
  3. Convegence of sequences

    Are the following sequences convergent according to theorem 7?
    1. {3n3}n=1∞ \{\frac{3}{n^3}\}_{n=1}^{\infty}
    2. {(−1)2n+12}n=1∞ \{\frac{(-1)^{2n+1}}{2}\}_{n=1}^{\infty}
    3. {n}n=4∞ \{\sqrt{n}\}_{n=4}^{\infty}
