Let x_{0} element of N. Then there is a sequence (x_{n}) that converges at x_{0} but has no terms that are nutural numbers.

Is that true?

Thank you

What do you mean by a sequence to converge at some point?

If you ask if a sequence of real numbers all of whose term are not natural numbers can converge to some natural number, the answer is yes. I assume, you prefer trying to prove it yourself to being given a hint right away.
 
Can you think of a sequence that converges to 0? Does that meet the requirements?
 
Prove $$\int\limits_0^{\sqrt2/4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx = \frac{\pi^2}{8}.$$ Let $$I = \int\limits_0^{\sqrt 2 / 4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx. \tag{1}$$ The representation integral of ##\arcsin## is $$\arcsin u = \int\limits_{0}^{1} \frac{\mathrm dt}{\sqrt{1-t^2}}, \qquad 0 \leqslant u \leqslant 1.$$ Plugging identity above into ##(1)## with ##u...
