# Week 4 Wednesday Problems
## Reading.
Start reading chapter 11. Start with 11.1 and 11.2.
## Problems.
1. Determine if the each of the following sequences converges or diverges. If converges, find the limit of the sequence.
1. $\displaystyle a_{n}=\frac{5}{n+2}$
2. $a_{n}=5\sqrt{n}$
3. $\displaystyle a_{n} = \frac{4n^{2}-3n}{2n^{2}+1}$
4. $\displaystyle a_{n}=\frac{n^{4}}{n^{3}-3n}$
5. $a_{n}=4 - (0.87)^{n}$
6. $a_{n}=3^{n}\cdot 4^{-n}$
7. $\displaystyle a_{n}=\frac{\sqrt{5n}}{\sqrt{n}+\sqrt{2}}$
8. $\displaystyle a_{n}=\left( 1+\frac{5}{n} \right)^{n}$ . Hint: L'Hospital rule or recognize it from somewhere.
9. $\displaystyle a_{n}=n^{1/n}$
10. $\displaystyle a_{n}=n \sin\left( \frac{1}{n} \right)$
11. $a_{n}=\ln(2n^{2}+1)-\ln(n^{2}+1)$
12. $\displaystyle a_{n}=\frac{n!}{2^{n}}$. Think about all the terms in $n!$ and all the terms in $2^{n}$
2. Determine if the following sequences is monotonic. Also determine if it is bounded.
1. $a_{n}=\cos(n)$
2. $\displaystyle a_{n}=\frac{1}{2+3n}$
3. Consider the sequence $(a_{n})$ given by $a_{1}=\sqrt{2}$ and $a_{n+1}=\sqrt{2+a_{n}}$.
1. Show the sequence $(a_{n})$ converges.
2. Find the limit of this sequence.
4. Consider the sequence $(a_{n})$ given by $a_{1}=1$ and $\displaystyle a_{n+1}=3-\frac{1}{a_{n}}$.
1. Show this sequence $(a_{n})$ converges.
2. Find the limit of this sequence.
5. Consider the sequence $(a_{n})$ given by $a_{1}= 2$ and $\displaystyle a_{n+1}=\frac{1}{3-a_{n}}$.
1. Show this sequence $(a_{n})$ converges.
2. Find the limit of this sequence.
