Can't seem to get alpha to compute this. Had this in a test and it stumped me. Could someone explain how to find the limit? Thanks in advance guys.

Just divide top and bottom by n. Then the limit of the numerator is 1, while the limit of the denominator is 2i (the \frac{(-1)^n}{n} has magnitude which tends to 0).
 
Cool, thanks man. I was under impression that I had to separate the function up into it's real and imaginary parts.
