SUMMARY
The limit of a sequence \(X_n\) as \(n\) approaches infinity being equal to infinity indicates that the sequence is unbounded. The traditional epsilon-delta definition of limits, which focuses on approaching a specific value, does not apply in this case. Instead, one should consider the concept of "arbitrary largeness" of \(X_n\) as \(n\) increases. A formal definition can be articulated by stating that for any arbitrary large number \(N\), there exists an \(n\) such that \(X_n > N\).
