Determine whether each of the following sequences with the given n-th term is convergent or divergent. Find the limit of those sequences that converge.
1) an=sin1(12cos1n)
2) an=2n+2+53n1
3) an=(1+n)12n

1) an=sin1(12cos1n)
n=1sin1(12cos1n)
Apply series divergence test
limnan0n=1andivergence
=limnsin1(12cos1n)
=12limnsin1(cos1n)
Apply limit
=sin1(12cos1)
=sin1(12cos(0)) [cos(0)=1]
=sin1(12)
=π40
Thus, an diverges
2) an=2n+2+53n1
Now, n=02n+2+53n1=n=0(2n+23n1+53n1)
=n=0(2n+23n1+n=053n1)
Apply ratio test
an=2n+23n1an+1=2n+33n
an=53n1an+1=53n
limn|an+1an|=limn|2n+33n×3n×312n×22|
=2×13=23<1, converges
Similarly,
limn|53n×3n15|
=13<1, converges
Thus, the sequence converges

c) an=(1+n)12n
n=1(1+n)12n
Apply series divergence test
limnan=limn(1+n)12n
Apply limit
=(1+())1
=(1+)0
=1
limn(1+n)12n=limne12nln(1+n)=1
As limnan0
The sequence diverges
