### Question 3

Investigate the following sequences for convergence:

(a) \[ x_n = \frac{n}{n+1} \]

(b) \[ x_n = (-1)^n \frac{n}{n+1} \]

(c) \[ x_n = \frac{2n}{3n+1} \]

(d) \[ x_n = \frac{2n^2+3}{3n^3+1} \]

(e) \[ x_n = n^2 - n \]

(f) \[ x_n = \sin n \]

### Explanation of Notations
Each sequence \( x_n \) is defined as an expression involving \( n \), where \( n \) generally represents natural numbers (i.e., \( n = 1, 2, 3, \ldots \)). The goal is to determine the behavior of these sequences as \( n \) approaches infinity, specifically whether they converge to a finite limit.
