Answer

$\{a_{n}\}$ converges to $1$.

Work Step by Step

Let $\{b_{n}\}=\{1,1,1,...\}.\qquad \{b_{n}\}\rightarrow 1$ Let $\displaystyle \{c_{n}\}=\{\frac{1}{n}\}.\qquad \{c_{n}\}\rightarrow 0$ $\{b_{n}\}$ and $\{c_{n}\}$ are both convergent, and $a_{n}=b_{n}-c_{n}$. By Theorem 1.2 (difference rule), $\{a_{n}\}$ converges to $1-0=1$.
