Assignments must be written in ink, not pencil, submitted online in upright orientation.
Write your name, student number on your work.
Submit it through LMS. Make sure your file size is less than 2Mb. In submitting your
work, you are consenting that it may be copied and transmitted by the university
for the detection of plagiarism. You must start your assignment with the following
Statement of Originality, signed and dated by you:
“This is my own work. I have not copied any of it from anyone else.”
Pay attention to the quality of your communication (in words and symbols).

Problem 1
Use L’Hospital’s Rule to evaluate each of the following:

n2 + e4n
(i) lim
n→∞ 2n − en
  
3
(ii) lim n ln 1 +
n→∞ n

(iii) lim [en + n]1/n

n→∞

ln n
(iv) lim
n→∞ n
n
(v) lim n
n→∞ 2

Problem 3
Check whether the following sequences {an } converges or diverges. Use the definition to
justify your answer.

1, n is odd
1. an =
0, n is even

2. an = cos(nπ)

Problem 4
Determine if the following sequences converge:

(−1)n
1. lim
n→∞ n
(−1)n
2. lim
n→∞ 2n + 3

3. lim (−1)n
n→∞

(5n2 + 1)
4. lim (−1)n
n→∞ n2 + 3

Problem 5
Write out the next four terms given the recursive formula:

1
(a) a1 = −1, an+1 = an
3
an
(b) a1 = 2, a2 = 3, an+2 = an+1 +
2

Problem 6
Show that the sequence {an } defined by

n sin n cos(2n)
an = ,
n2 + 4
converges using the sandwich theorem.
