Sheet 3. Sequences and Their Limits

The document provides a series of calculus exercises involving limits of sequences. Exercise 3.1 asks students to write out the first five terms of several sequences defined by formulas. Exercise 3.2 provides several limits of sequences and asks students to calculate the limits. There are over 30 individual limits provided across a wide variety of sequence definitions involving factors such as n, n^2, (-1)^n, and trigonometric, exponential, and square root functions of n.
