Answer

The sequence converges to zero.

Work Step by Step

Given $$a_{n} = \frac{\sin(n)}{n}$$ $$-1 \leq \sin(n) \leq 1$$ Then \begin{aligned} -\frac{1}{n} \leq \frac{\sin(n)}{n} \leq \frac{1}{n} \end{aligned} Since \begin{aligned} \lim\limits_{n \to ∞}\left(-\frac{1}{n}\right) = 0 \end{aligned} and \begin{aligned} \lim\limits_{n \to ∞}\frac{1}{n} = 0 \end{aligned} By the Squeeze Theorem, we have $$\lim\limits_{n \to ∞}\frac{\sin(n)}{n} = 0$$ Therefore, the sequence converges to $0$.
