The sequence \( a_n = \frac{n \cdot \cos(n)}{5n+10} \) oscillates between \(-\frac{1}{5}\) and \(\frac{1}{5}\) as \(n\) increases. It is **not monotone**, **bounded**, and **diverges** because it does not approach a single value.

Solución

Consider the sequence \[ a_n = \frac{n \cdot \cos(n)}{5n+10}. \] **Step 1. Rewrite the sequence.** Divide the numerator and the denominator by \(n\): \[ a_n = \frac{n \cdot \cos(n)}{5n+10} = \frac{\cos(n)}{5+\frac{10}{n}}. \] **Step 2. Behavior for large \(n\).** As \(n \to \infty\), the term \(\frac{10}{n} \to 0\). Thus, for large \(n\) the sequence behaves like: \[ a_n \approx \frac{\cos(n)}{5}. \] Since \(\cos(n)\) oscillates between \(-1\) and \(1\), the sequence oscillates between: \[ -\frac{1}{5} \quad \text{and} \quad \frac{1}{5}. \] **Step 3. Monotonicity.** The term \(\cos(n)\) does not behave in a monotonic manner; instead, it oscillates as \(n\) increases. Multiplying by constant factors or dividing by a term that approaches 5 does not remove the oscillations. Thus, the sequence is **not monotone** (it is not monotone decreasing for all \(n\)). **Step 4. Boundedness.** Since \[ -1 \leq \cos(n) \leq 1, \] we have \[ -\frac{1}{5+\frac{10}{n}} \leq a_n \leq \frac{1}{5+\frac{10}{n}}. \] For all \(n\), this gives a bound and as \(n\) increases, the bounds approach \(-\frac{1}{5}\) and \(\frac{1}{5}\). Hence, the sequence is **bounded**. **Step 5. Convergence.** A sequence converges if there exists a unique number \(L\) such that as \(n \to \infty\), \(a_n \to L\). In this case, because \(\cos(n)\) does not converge (it oscillates between \(-1\) and \(1\)), the fraction \(\frac{\cos(n)}{5+\frac{10}{n}}\) does not settle to a single value. Instead, it continues to oscillate between approximately \(-\frac{1}{5}\) and \(\frac{1}{5}\). Thus, the sequence **diverges**. **Summary:** - The sequence is **not monotone**. - The sequence is **bounded**. - The sequence **diverges** (does not converge to a single value).

The Deep Dive

To analyze the behavior of the sequence \( a_n = \frac{n \cdot \cos(n)}{5n + 10} \), we first observe that as \( n \) becomes large, the \( \cos(n) \) term oscillates between -1 and 1. Therefore, the sequence will oscillate, but the overall fraction will approach a definite value since \( \frac{n}{5n + 10} \) behaves like \( \frac{1}{5} \). 1. **Behavior and Boundedness**: The sequence is indeed bounded. Since \( \cos(n) \) oscillates between -1 and 1, we can evaluate the expression for extreme cases, yielding: \[ -\frac{n}{5n + 10} \leq a_n \leq \frac{n}{5n + 10}. \] For large \( n \), both bounds approach \( -\frac{1}{5} \) and \( \frac{1}{5} \). Thus, the sequence is bounded between \( -\frac{1}{5} \) and \( \frac{1}{5} \). 2. **Monotonicity**: The sequence is not monotone. The oscillatory nature of \( \cos(n) \) ensures that \( a_n \) will not consistently increase or decrease, given that \( \cos(n) \) takes on various values repetitively, creating fluctuations in \( a_n \). 3. **Convergence**: To find out if the sequence converges, we analyze the limit as \( n \) approaches infinity: \[ \lim_{n \to \infty} a_n = \lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{n \cdot \cos(n)}{5n + 10} = \lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{\cos(n)}{5 + \frac{10}{n}}. \] Since \( \cos(n) \) oscillates between -1 and 1, the limit does not settle on a specific value. Therefore, the sequence diverges. In conclusion, the sequence does not converge to a single point and oscillates within the range defined, while being bounded. **Final answer: DIV**
