cos2 n 1 1
0 < cos2 n 1 =) 0 < and lim 3n = 0:
e3n e3n n!1 e

cos2 n
Then lim = 0 by the squeeze theorem:
n!1 e3n

f (x) = ;x 1: f 0 (x) = = > 0, x 1:
ex + 1 (ex + 1)2 (ex + 1)2

So the sequence is increasing:

en 1
0< < 1; n 1: So the sequence is bounded:
en + 1

The sequence, being monotonic and bounded, is convergent.

f (x) = xe ; f 0 (x) = e + xe ( 2x) = (1 2x2 )e < 0, x 1:

Thus f is nonnegative, continuous, and decreasing for x 1.
