For B and C can you try using the definition of limits, thanks 

### Mathematical Analysis Exercise

**1) Sequence Convergence and Limit Analysis**

**a) Problem:**
Assume \( 0 \leq a \leq b \). Does the sequence \( \{ a^n + b^n \}^{\frac{1}{n}} \) diverge or converge? If it converges, find the limit.

**b) Problem:**
Define \( f: (0, 1) \rightarrow \mathbb{R} \) by \( f(x) = \cos \frac{1}{x} \). Does \( f \) have a limit at 0? Justify your answer.

**c) Problem:**
Define \( f: (0, 1) \rightarrow \mathbb{R} \) by \( f(x) = x \cos \frac{1}{x} \). Does \( f \) have a limit at 0? Justify your answer.

### Explanation of Key Concepts

**Convergence of a Sequence:**  
A sequence \(\{a_n\}\) converges to a limit \(L\) if for every \(\epsilon > 0\), there exists an \(N\) such that for all \(n > N\), \(|a_n - L| < \epsilon\).

**Function Limit at a Point:**  
A function \(f(x)\) is said to have a limit \(L\) at a point \(x_0\), if for every \(\epsilon > 0\), there exists a \(\delta > 0\) such that for all \(x\), \(0 < |x - x_0| < \delta\) implies \(|f(x) - L| < \epsilon\).

Expert Solution
Step 1: Part b

Given f: (0,1) rightwards arrow space R space,f left parenthesis x right parenthesis equals space cos left parenthesis 1 over x right parenthesis

as xrightwards arrow 0 space comma space 1 over x rightwards arrow infinity space s o comma space cos left parenthesis 1 over x right parenthesis space w i l l space o s c o l l a t e s space b e t w e e n space minus 1 space a n d space 1. So f does not have a limit at x tends to 0.
