determine whether{ncosn/n^2+1) converges or diverges.If it vonverges, find the limit.?

answers:
Jeffrey K say: As n gets large, the denominator gets much bigger than the numerator so a small number over a bigger number approaches 0.

kb say: Use the Squeeze Theorem, noting that -1 ≤ cos n ≤ 1 for all n.
Thus, we have for all n:
-n/(n²+1) ≤ n cos(n)/(n²+1) ≤ n/(n²+1).
Since lim(n→∞) ±n/(n²+1) = 0, we conclude by the Squeeze
Theorem that lim(n→∞) n cos(n)/(n²+1) = 0.
(In other words, the sequence {n cos(n)/(n²+1)} converges to 0.)
I hope this helps!

Ian H say: Consider y = [x/(x^2+1)]cos(x). This graph suggests convergence
https://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=y+...
y = x/(x ^2 + 1) becomes like y = 1/x for large x.
The cosine of x oscillates about those values giving smaller alternating values for y as x tends to infinity.
