Since the computed limit is +∞, the given sequence is NOT BOUNDED.
Because the least upper bound does not exist though there is a greatest
lower bound of −𝟖.

This sequence is decreasing and BOUNDED below, with 𝟐 as the least
upper bound and greatest lower bound of −𝟒.
Find the greatest lower bound and least upper bound the given
B sequence. (5 points each)
