No. It simply approaches zero as a limit; it doesn't actually get there.

No, it will approach zero as a limit, but will never reach it.
Start with 1:
x = 1: 1
x = 2: 1/4
x = 3: 1/9
x = 4: 1/16
....
x = 1.000.000: 1 / (1mln^2)
The number gets infinitely small, with every increasing number of x it gets closer to 0, but never reaches it.

no, it approaches 0, In other word it is a sequence that tends to 0 but doesn't reach 0

I think not, for any finite x.
