Question

Using basic real analysis, solve

Find the limit superior and limit inferior of each of the following sequences:

The image depicts a set of mathematical sequences, denoted as \((x_n)\), each with different formulas defined for \(n \in \mathbb{N}\) (natural numbers).

**(b)** \((x_n) = \left(n \cos\left(\frac{n\pi}{2}\right)\right), n \in \mathbb{N}.\)

In this sequence, each term is calculated by multiplying \(n\) by the cosine of \(\frac{n\pi}{2}\).

**(c)** \((x_n) = \left(n \cos^2\left(\frac{n\pi}{2}\right)\right), n \in \mathbb{N}.\)

Here, each term is \(n\) times the square of the cosine of \(\frac{n\pi}{2}\).

**(d)** \((x_n) = \left((-1)^n - \frac{n}{n+1}\right), n \in \mathbb{N}.\)

This sequence alternates in sign based on the expression \((-1)^n\) and subtracts a fraction \(\frac{n}{n+1}\) from it.

These sequences explore the interplay between trigonometric functions and fractional expressions.
