prove convergence of the sequence cos(1/n) using formal definition

662 Views Asked by At

prove that sequence $cos~(1/n)$ is converging to 1. using the definition. ie, I want to find the $N$ corresponding to the $\epsilon$ in definition. I am stuck with, whether i can use $cos^{-1}$ in both sides of inequality without altering sign of inequality.

$\cos (\frac 1 n) \geq 1-\frac 1 {n^{2}}$ so $|1-\cos (\frac 1 n)| <\epsilon$ if $n>\frac 1 {\sqrt{\epsilon}}$
