(a) Intuitively, an=⌊n5⌋ seems to converge to 0. Notice that we can define an piece-wise, to obtain an insight. That is,
an=⌊n5⌋=⎩⎨⎧5210n=1n=23≤n≤5n≥6Thus, for every ϵ>0, choose N=6. We then have
∀n∈N,n≥N⟹0=⌊n5⌋<ϵ.(b) Intuitively, an=⌊3n12+4n⌋ converges to 1 since
bn=3n12+4nconverges to 34. In fact, we realize that
∀n≥7,1<bn<2.Thus, for every ϵ>0, choose N=7. We then have
∀n∈N,n≥N⟹0=⌊3n12+4n⌋−1<ϵ.
