EXERCISE 7: Sequence: The first term of a sequence is a1 = sin(1). The next terms are: a2 = min{a1,sin(2)} (the smallest of a1 and sin 2), az = min{a2, sin(3)} (the smallest of az and sin 3),... an+1 = min{an, sin(n + 1)} (the smallest of an and sin(n +1)). Is this sequence {an} converging or diverging?

EXERCISE 7: Sequence: The first term of a sequence is a1 = sin(1). The next terms are:
a2 = min{a1,sin(2)} (the smallest of a1 and sin 2),
az = min{a2, sin(3)} (the smallest of az and sin 3),...
an+1 = min{an, sin(n + 1)} (the smallest of an and sin(n +1)).
Is this sequence {an} converging or diverging?
