By inspection, it's clear that the sequence must converge to \dfrac32 because

\dfrac{3n+1}{2n-1}=\dfrac{3+\frac1n}{2-\frac1n}\approx\dfrac32

when n is arbitrarily large.

Now, for the limit as n\to\infty to be equal to \dfrac32 is to say that for any \varepsilon>0, there exists some N such that whenever n>N, it follows that

\left|\dfrac{3n+1}{2n-1}-\dfrac32\right|

From this inequality, we get

\left|\dfrac{3n+1}{2n-1}-\dfrac32\right|=\left|\dfrac{(6n+2)-(6n-3)}{2(2n-1)}\right|=\dfrac52\dfrac1{|2n-1|}
\implies|2n-1|>\dfrac5{2\varepsilon}
\implies2n-1\dfrac5{2\varepsilon}
\implies n\dfrac12+\dfrac5{4\varepsilon}

As we're considering n\to\infty, we can omit the first inequality.

We can then see that choosing N=\left\lceil\dfrac12+\dfrac5{4\varepsilon}\right\rceil will guarantee the condition for the limit to exist. We take the ceiling (least integer larger than the given bound) just so that N\in\mathbb N.

Answer:

A) \frac{cos^2A}{sinA}

Step-by-step explanation:
