You could show

\displaystyle \frac{1+\sin x}{\cos x} = \cot \left ( \frac{\pi}{4} - \frac{x}{2} \right ) = \tan \left ( \frac{x}{2} - \frac{\pi}{4} \right )

I grant you it's not 100% clear, but I would interpret this part as "given an integer m, give an example of a sequence of irrational numbers that converges to m". (In other words, you have to produce a sequence that works for every m).

Define a sequence

A_n = m+U_n-1

of which all the terms are clearly irrational since U_n is irrational for all n and a rational number + irrational number is always irrational. Yet it converges to m as
