1. Problem Description

The problem asks us to analyze the sequence an=ensinna_n = e^{-n} \sin n. We need to find the first few terms, determine if the sequence converges, and if it converges, find the limit as nn approaches infinity.

2. Solution Steps

First, let's find the first few terms of the sequence.
a1=e1sin10.3096a_1 = e^{-1} \sin 1 \approx 0.3096
a2=e2sin20.1231a_2 = e^{-2} \sin 2 \approx 0.1231
a3=e3sin30.0212a_3 = e^{-3} \sin 3 \approx 0.0212
a4=e4sin40.0140a_4 = e^{-4} \sin 4 \approx -0.0140
a5=e5sin50.0192a_5 = e^{-5} \sin 5 \approx -0.0192
Now, let's determine if the sequence converges. We have an=ensinna_n = e^{-n} \sin n. We can rewrite this as an=sinnena_n = \frac{\sin n}{e^n}.
Since 1sinn1-1 \le \sin n \le 1, we have 1ensinnen1en-\frac{1}{e^n} \le \frac{\sin n}{e^n} \le \frac{1}{e^n}.
As nn \to \infty, ene^n \to \infty, so 1en0\frac{1}{e^n} \to 0.
Thus, 1en0-\frac{1}{e^n} \to 0 and 1en0\frac{1}{e^n} \to 0.
By the Squeeze Theorem, limnsinnen=0\lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{\sin n}{e^n} = 0.

3. Final Answer

The first few terms are approximately 0.3096,0.1231,0.0212,0.0140,0.01920.3096, 0.1231, 0.0212, -0.0140, -0.0192.
The sequence converges to

0. $\lim_{n \to \infty} a_n = 0$
