l i m n sin ( 3 π n 4 + n 2 ) = l i m n sin ( 3 π n 2 ( 1 + 1 n 2 ) 1 / 2 ) n 2 ( 1 + 1 n 2 ) 1 / 2 = n 2 ( 1 + 1 2 n 2 1 8 n 4 + . . . ) = n 2 + 1 2 1 8 n 2 + . . . l i m n sin ( 3 π n 4 + n 2 ) = l i m n sin ( 3 π ( n 2 + 1 2 0 + . . . ) ) = l i m n sin ( 3 n 2 π + 3 π 2 ) = ± sin ( 3 π 2 ) = 1 { lim }_{ n\rightarrow \infty }\left| \sin { \left( 3\pi \sqrt { { n }^{ 4 }+{ n }^{ 2 } } \right) } \right| ={ lim }_{ n\rightarrow \infty }\left| \sin { \left( 3\pi { n }^{ 2 }{ \left( 1+\cfrac { 1 }{ { n }^{ 2 } } \right) }^{ 1/2 } \right) } \right| \\ \\ \because { n }^{ 2 }{ \left( 1+\cfrac { 1 }{ { n }^{ 2 } } \right) }^{ 1/2 }={ n }^{ 2 }{ \left( 1+\cfrac { 1 }{ { 2n }^{ 2 } } -\cfrac { 1 }{ 8{ n }^{ 4 } } +... \right) }={ n }^{ 2 }+\cfrac { 1 }{ 2 } -\cfrac { 1 }{ 8{ n }^{ 2 } } +...\\ \\ \therefore { lim }_{ n\rightarrow \infty }\left| \sin { \left( 3\pi \sqrt { { n }^{ 4 }+{ n }^{ 2 } } \right) } \right| ={ lim }_{ n\rightarrow \infty }\left| \sin { \left( 3\pi { \left( { n }^{ 2 }+\cfrac { 1 }{ 2 } -0+... \right) } \right) } \right| \\ \\ ={ lim }_{ n\rightarrow \infty }\left| \sin { \left( 3{ n }^{ 2 }\pi +\cfrac { 3\pi }{ 2 } \right) } \right| =\left| \pm \sin { \left( \cfrac { 3\pi }{ 2 } \right) } \right| =1
