Prove that the sequence  is divergent.
  Prove:By contradiction : Suppose the given sequence converges to  , that is
,
then it is defined by the limit . For  , there exists  such that when  , there is always
,
using the basic absolute value inequality , that is, when  , there is
,
the intervalThe length of  is  . And  takes two numbers  endlessly , and it is impossible to be  at the same time, which is a contradiction. Therefore, the sequence is divergent .
  Note : This example also shows that bounded sequences do not necessarily converge.
