Answer

The sequence is not bounded and not monotonic.

Work Step by Step

$a_{n} = n(-1)^{n}$ The terms of the sequence: $-1, 2, -3, 4, -5,...$ The sequence is not monotonic because the terms are alternating. $\lim\limits_{n \to \infty}|a_{n}| = \lim\limits_{n \to \infty} n = \infty$ Thus the sequence is not bounded and not monotonic.
