does anyone here know anything about real analysis?
ask!
ok heres the question
{sin(n(pi)/6)} of n conatined in real numbers is it convergent and provide two subsequences
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.
it cannot converge because what @mahmit2012 said, it is \(\frac{1}{2}\) and \(-\frac{1}{2}\) infinitely often
how do i provide subsequences?
oh right, and also 0, \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\) etc etc
@mahmit2012 gave them to you in his/her reply
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.
why can i be sure that it has a convergent subsequence?
and how can i provide one?
?
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.
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
now see if you can find one that is identically \(\frac{1}{2}\) for example
