*You cannot use any theorems about convergent sequences*

Using the definition of a convergent sequence, prove:

 

The expression shown in the image is a mathematical limit:

\[
\lim_{{n \to \infty}} \frac{n}{2n-1} = \frac{1}{2}
\]

This limit describes the behavior of the fraction \(\frac{n}{2n-1}\) as \(n\) approaches infinity. As \(n\) becomes very large, the value of the fraction approaches \(\frac{1}{2}\). This is because the highest degree terms in the numerator and the denominator dominate, simplifying the expression to \(\frac{1}{2}\) in the limit.
