#Is this a good way to pick a value N in a convergence proof?

You have a stray "|" in line 3, and line 4 is completely wrong; I'm pretty sure you meant eps >= 6/n, therefore n >= 6/eps.

What limit do you want to prove

Line 2 is also wrong, n² / n³ + 1 <= 1/n³ isn't true for all n

Or, wait.

#

Actually, maybe not?

#

I think it should be n^2/(n^3 + 1) <= 1/n.

And sorry for the formatting 💀

True

1/n³ - n²/(n³+1) < 0 for all n > 1

oh right (I just remembered that my inequality was n^2/n^3+1 <= n^2/n^3 then that got simplified down to n^2/n^3+1 <= 1/n but I omitted that part from the proof. This at least looks good then?)
