For every $$\epsilon>0$$ there exist $$N\in\mathbb{N}$$, s.t. $$|x_n-1/2|<\epsilon$$ for all
$$n\geq N$$.

I think we all know the limit is $$1/2$$. This is the easy part. Proving it is the hard part.
After applying conjugate to the sequence given we got:
For every $$\epsilon>0$$ there exist $$N\in\mathbb{N}$$, s.t. $$|x_n-1/2|<\epsilon$$ for all
$$n\geq N$$.
$$|\frac{\sqrt{n}}{\sqrt{n+1}+\sqrt{n}}-$$1/2$$|$$ <$$\epsilon$$
$$|\frac{\sqrt{n}}{\sqrt{n+1}+\sqrt{n}}-$$1/2$$|$$ = $$|\frac{2\sqrt{n}-\sqrt{n+1}-
\sqrt{n}}{2(\sqrt{n+1}+\sqrt{n})}|$$ = $$|\frac{\sqrt{n}-\sqrt{n+1}}{2(\sqrt{n+1}+\sqrt{n})}|$$
Applying the conjugate of the numerator we get:
$$\epsilon$$ $$>$$$$|\frac{1}{2(\sqrt{n+1}+\sqrt{n})^2}|$$ $$>$$
$$|\frac{1}{2(\sqrt{n+1}+\sqrt{n+1})^2}|$$ =$$|\frac{1}{8(n+1}|$$
Thanks.

Example.
A limit point x of a set (in $$\mathbb{R}$$): for every $$\epsilon>0$$, $$(x-
\epsilon,x+\epsilon)$$ contains infinitely many points of the set (so the set with limit point
must have infinitely many elements).
A limit point x of a sequence $$\{x_n\}$$ (in $$\mathbb{R})$$: for every $$\epsilon>0$$ and
any $$N\in\mathbb{N}$$, there exists some $$n\geq N$$ such that $$x_n \in (x-
\epsilon,x+\epsilon)$$. In fact $$x$$ is a limit point of a sequence if it is the limit of some
convergent subsequence.
Ex
When you set your $$N_1$$ it shouldn't depend on the varying $$n$$. Just say $$N_1=N-
100$$, then it yields that $$|y_{n}-x|=|x_{n+100}-x|<\epsilon$$. Up to here you showed that
$$x_n\to x$$ implies $$y_n\to x$$. You'll also need to show that $$y_n\to x$$
implies $$x_n\to x$$.
For part 2, $$\{x_n\}$$ divergent just means it is not convergent. It is not necessarily going
to $$\infty$$. Example: $$x_n = (-1)^n$$ is divergent.
