See explanation section below.

Explanation:

In this case,

abs(a_n-L) = abs((2sinn)/n - 0) = abs((2sinn)/n)|anL|=2sinnn0=2sinnn.

For positive nn, this is = 2/nabs(sin n)=2n|sinn|

Recall that for all real nn, we have abs(sin n) <= 1|sinn|1

So for all n > 0n>0, we know that

abs((2sinn)/n) = 2/nabs(sin n) <= 2/n2sinnn=2n|sinn|2n.

By making MM sufficiently great, we can make 2/n < epsilon2n<ε for ann n >= MnM.

(Take MM to be any number greater than 2/epsilon2ε.)

Very very simply

Explanation:

We already must know that sin xsinx is between -1 and +1 for every real x, so that -1 <= sin2n <=11sin2n1 for every n (or indeed any real number). When you divide that by n as n->∞n, then it is clear that the answer is zero. "Everything should be made as simple as possible, although not any simpler"
