Question
Answered step-by-step
Use a graph of the sequence to decide whether the sequence is convergent or divergent. If the sequence is convergent, guess the value of the limit from the graph and then prove your guess. (See the margin note on page 699 for advice on graphing sequence .)$ a_n = \frac {n^2 \cos n}{1 + n^2} $

In mathematics, a series is, informally speaking, the sum of the terms of an infinite sequence. The sum of a finite sequence of real numbers is called a finite series. The sum of an infinite sequence of real numbers may or may not have a well-defined sum, and may or may not be equal to the limit of the sequence, if it exists. The study of the sums of infinite sequences is a major area in mathematics known as analysis.

In mathematics, a sequence is an enumerated collection of objects in which repetitions are allowed. Like a set, it contains members (also called elements, or terms). The number of elements (possibly infinite) is called the length of the sequence. Unlike a set, order matters, and exactly the same elements can appear multiple times at different positions in the sequence. Formally, a sequence can be defined as a function whose domain is either the set of the natural numbers (for infinite sequences) or the set of the first "n" natural numbers (for a finite sequence). A sequence can be thought of as a list of elements with a particular order. Sequences are useful in a number of mathematical disciplines for studying functions, spaces, and other mathematical structures using the convergence properties of sequences. In particular, sequences are the basis for series, which are important in differential equations and analysis. Sequences are also of interest in their own right and can be studied as patterns or puzzles, such as in the study of prime numbers.

Let's use a graph of the sequence and to predict weather, a convergence or diverges. Now look here and gizmos. We have a graph. You could see our formula for am. Now we've graft the first seventy six terms, and based on the looks, it looks like this thing does not converge. But it's more or less bouncing around between negative one one. So Betweennegative one and and one sense the limit. It's and goes to infinity of n squared over one plus and squared equals one, sir, So A N is approximately equal to co sign in for a large and and the limit of co sign n does not exist. Therefore, a N is divergent again. It's diversion because its limit doesn't exist, and that's our final answer.
