I have a homework problem that I arrived.

enter image description here

With Mathematica, the limit is 0. So by using $\epsilon= 10^{-6}$ (it is -6, not -0, sorry for the cutoff).

$\sin(n^2)/\sqrt{n} <\epsilon =10^{-6}$

So I tried putting that ino Mathematica and no luck so I have a feeling I am approaching this problem the wrong way

Hint: $\frac{sin(n^{2})}{\sqrt{n}}\leq\frac{1}{\sqrt{n}}$ and the latter is monotonic so it suffices to find an $N$ s.t $\frac{1}{\sqrt{N}}<\epsilon$

    We have $|\sin \theta|\le 1$ for all $\theta$, so if we can make $\frac{1}{\sqrt{n}}\lt \epsilon$, then for sure $\left|\frac{\sin(n^2)}{\sqrt{n}}\right|\lt \epsilon$.2012-09-23
