Sorting Sequences

Sort these sequences into four piles: sequences that converge to 0, sequences that converge to something other than 0, sequences that diverge to infinity, sequences that diverge to other than infinity. (Please use just the third page of this file. When it is correct, the numbers in each pile all have something in common.)
You can use this placemat to help with the sorting
