A sequence $a_n = \frac{3 n^p + 3 n^{p-1} }{3 n^{q} - 2 n^{q-1}}$ converges to 0 as $n\rightarrow\infty.$ Let the sequence $b_n$ be $\frac{1}{a_n}.$ Then which of the following is true about $b_n$ as $n\rightarrow\infty?$

Can't say Converges to 0 Converges to 1 Diverges

Which of the following sequences does not converge as $n\rightarrow\infty:$ $\begin{array}{c}&a_n=\sin{2 n}, &a_n=\sin{3 \pi n}, &a_n=\frac{\sin{5n}}{n} , &a_n=\cos{ 4 \pi n}?\end{array}$

a_n= \frac{\sin{ 5 n}}{n}

a_n= \cos{ 4 \pi n}

a_n=\sin{ 2 n}

a_n=\sin{ 3 \pi n}

If a partial sum of the sequence $a_n$ $\sum _{ n=k }^{ k+5 }{ a_n }$ converges as $k\rightarrow\infty,$ what can we say about the sequence $a_n?$

The sequence converges to 0. The sequence converges, not necessarily to 0. The sequence diverges. Can't say anything.

If sequences $a_n$ and $b_n$ converge to $4$ and $3 ,$ respectively, which of the following is true about the sequence: $(4 a_n -1 ) ( 6 b_n +2 ) ?$

Cannot say. Converges to

300.

Diverges. Converges to

-2.
