Explanation Definition used: Limit of a Sequence : Let { a n } be a sequence. If the sequence { a n } is said to be convergent then the limit L can be written as lim n → ∞ a n = L , if the terms of the sequence, a n , can be made as close to L by taking n sufficiently large. If a sequence is not convergent, it is said to be divergent. Calculation: The given sequence is { a n } = { 2 − 1 2 n } The functional values of f ( n ) = 2 − 1 2 n for n = 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 ⋯ Substitute n = 1 in f ( n ) = 2 − 1 2 n . f ( 1 ) = 2 − 1 2 1 = 2 − 0.5 = 1.5 Substitute n = 2 in f ( n ) = 2 − 1 2 n . f ( 2 ) = 2 − 1 2 2 = 2 − 1 4 = 2 − 0.25 = 1.75 Substitute n = 3 in f ( n ) = 2 − 1 2 n . f ( 3 ) = 2 − 1 2 3 = 2 − 1 8 = 2 − 0.125 = 1.875 Substitute n = 4 in f ( n ) = 2 − 1 2 n
