$| \frac{1 + n}{1 - 2 n} + \frac{1}{2} |$
$= | \frac{2 + 2 n + 1 - 2 n}{2 (1 - 2 n)} |$
$= | \frac{3}{2} \cdot \frac{1}{1 - 2 n} |$
For every $ϵ > 0$ given we can choose N that
$| \frac{3}{2} \cdot \frac{1}{1 - 2} = \frac{3}{2 (2 N - 1)} | < ϵ$

$2 N - 1 > \frac{3}{2 ϵ}$
$N > (1 + \frac{3}{2 ϵ}) \frac{1}{2}$
$N > (\frac{1}{2} + \frac{3}{4 ϵ})$
Hence $\forall n \geq N$
$| \frac{1 + 2 n}{1 - 2 n} - (- \frac{1}{2}) | < ϵ$
Hence
$lim_{n \to \infty} | \frac{1 + 2 n}{1 - 2 n} | = - \frac{1}{2}$
