does anyone here know anything about real analysis?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ask!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok heres the question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

{sin(n(pi)/6)} of n conatined in real numbers is it convergent and provide two subsequences

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if n is going to be infinity there are kind of options. n=6k n=6k+1 ....n=6k+5 and they make 6 different limit, so it is divergence.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it cannot converge because what @mahmit2012 said, it is \(\frac{1}{2}\) and \(-\frac{1}{2}\) infinitely often

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how do i provide subsequences?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh right, and also 0, \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\) etc etc

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@mahmit2012 gave them to you in his/her reply

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You just think about all options for n that you can build them. In this question there are 6 options to show your sequence diverge.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

why can i be sure that it has a convergent subsequence?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and how can i provide one?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for example sin(npi) is convergence because you have two options n=2k and n=2k+1 but both of them gives you 0 So the sequence diverge to zero.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lets spell it out if you take as a sub-sequence of \(n\) all natural numbers of the form \(6k\) then you get \[\sin(\frac{6k\pi}{6})=\sin(k\pi)=0\] so this subsequence is identically zero

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now see if you can find one that is identically \(\frac{1}{2}\) for example
