Answer

$0$

Work Step by Step

We have $$\lim_{n\to \infty}a_n=\lim_{n\to \infty}\frac{\cos n}{{n}}.$$ Since $-1\leq \cos n\leq 1$, then $-\frac{1}{{n}}\leq \frac{\cos n}{{n}}\leq \frac{1}{{n}}$. Applying the squeeze rule, we find that $$\lim_{n\to \infty}\frac{\cos n}{{n}}=0.$$ Hence, by Theorem 1, the sequence $a_n$ converges to $0$.
