write the formula for the nth term of your sequence, i.e. a(n) = (n+1) / n^2
:
then rewrite it as a function, using my example
:
f(n) = (n+1) / n^2
:
now you can graph the function
:

:
we see that the example sequence converges to 0 as n approaches infinity
:
the precise definition of limit involves advanced calculus(usually 2nd year) concepts
