$frac{n+1}{2n^2+2} in O(frac{1}{n})$ without limits



$frac{n+1}{2n^2+2} leq frac{n+n}{2n^2 + 2} leq frac{2n}{2n^2 + 2}$



Not sure how to lower the denominator

    Are we allowed to use calculus? Because you can show the point (the $n_0$) where, with a sufficiently large $c$ (multiplying factor), that $frac{n + 1}{2n^2 + 2} leq cfrac{1}{n}$, for all $n > n_0$.

    And if not, you can just choose a fairly large $n_0$...it might also help to factor out $n$: $frac{n}{n^2}frac{1 + frac{1}{n}}{2 + frac{2}{n^2}}$.

Note that $n + 1 le n + n = 2n$ for all $n ge 1$, so
$$
frac{n+1}{2n^2+2} le frac{n}{n^2+1}.
$$

Now notice that $n^2 + 1 > n^2$, so if $n ge 1$,
$$
frac{n+1}{2n^2+2} le frac{n}{n^2+1} < frac{n}{n^2} = frac{1}{n},
$$

as desired.
