Determine with limitrules if following sequence convergence, if yes then calculate its limit \[b_n := \left\{ \begin{array}{l l} \frac{1+n}{n} & \quad \text{falls $n$ is odd }\\ \frac{1-n}{n} & \quad \text{if $n$ is even}\\ \end{array} \right.\] for \[n\geq 1\]

OpenStudy (experimentx):

the sequence is an oscillating sequence ... it does not converge.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think the first one is not convergennce because 1+n/n > 1 second onve convergence because the solution is less then -1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and how to show it in exam in mathematical way ?

OpenStudy (experimentx):

no ... when n-> infinity, the above sequence converges to 1 while the later sequence converges to -1 you cannot have two different limit point for same sequence. so it does not converge.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thank you experimentX

OpenStudy (experimentx):

yw .. you know (-1)^n does not converge ... this is quite similar to it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you mean for the second sequence?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i know \[-1^{n}\] alone it does not convergence
