Solution

To calculate the limit inferior (lim inf) as n approaches infinity for the sequence (-1)^n * 3 + 1/n, we need to understand that the sequence alternates between positive and negative values because of the (-1)^n term.

Step 1: Identify the two subsequences The sequence has two subsequences: one for even n (where (-1)^n = 1) and one for odd n (where (-1)^n = -1).

For even n, the subsequence is 3 + 1/n. For odd n, the subsequence is -3 + 1/n.

Step 2: Calculate the limits of the subsequences As n approaches infinity, 1/n approaches 0. So, the limit of the subsequence for even n is 3, and the limit of the subsequence for odd n is -3.

Step 3: Determine the limit inferior The limit inferior (lim inf) of a sequence as n approaches infinity is the largest number that is a lower bound for all but finitely many terms in the sequence. In this case, the limit inferior is -3, because -3 is a lower bound for all but finitely many terms in the sequence (specifically, the terms where n is even).
