See explanation section below.

Explanation:

In this case,

abs(a_n-L) = abs((2sinn)/n - 0) = abs((2sinn)/n).

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

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

So for all n > 0, we know that

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

By making M sufficiently great, we can make 2/n < epsilon for ann n >= M.

(Take M to be any number greater than 2/epsilon.)

Very very simply

Explanation:

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