- Arithmetic and Geometric Sequences Find the values of x and y for which the sequence 2, x, y, 17, is, a arithmetic b geometricarrow_forwardLimit of a sequence Enumerate and graph the terms of the following sequence, and make a conjecture about its limit. an = (4n3)/(n3 + 1) , for n = 1, 2, 3, ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ . Explicit formulaarrow_forward(INFINITE SEQUENCE) Find the sequence (an) for the first five terms of each sequence and then determine if each sequence converges or diverges. If it converges give it its limit.arrow_forward
- Limits of sequences and functionsarrow_forwardOne of the most important definitions in mathematics (calculus in particular) is that of the limit of a sequence. Consider the infinite sequence:1,1/2,1/3,1/4,.... Such a sequence can be represented as follows: an=1/n , n ∈ N Note that the elements of the sequence get arbitrarily close to 0 as n→∞. We call such a point the limit of the sequence. The formal definition for “L is the limit of a sequence an” is as follows: ∀∈ > 0, ∃N ∈ N, ∀ n ∈ N, n > N=⇒ |an−L| < ∈Negate this proposition to obtain the definition of “L is NOT the limit of a sequence an.”arrow_forwardLimits of sequences Determine the limits of the following sequences.a. an = (3n3)/(n3 + 1) b. bn = ((n + 5)/(n))n c. cn = n1/narrow_forward
- analysis Suppose that (sn) and (tn) are sequences so that sn = tn except for finitely many values of n. Using the definition of limit, explain why if limn → ∞ sn = s, then also limn → ∞ tn = s.arrow_forwardReal Analysis Suppose {an} is a bounded sequence of Real numbers. If Lim(Supan)=M as n approaches infinity prove that for every Epsilon>0, we have an<M+Epsilon for all but a finite number of values of n. I am told that this is the ratio test using Limit Supremum. I don't understand this statement. If M is the Lim of the Supremum, then how can some element of an be between M and M+Epsilon? Isn't the Supremum the Greatest Lower Bound? Meaning that there are no elements above the Supremum?arrow_forwardFinding infinite limits Analyze the following limitsarrow_forward
- Determine the limit of the sequence or show that the sequence diverges by using the appropriate Limit Laws or theorems. If the sequence diverges, enter DIV as your answer.arrow_forwardExplicit formulas for sequences Consider the formulas for the following sequence {an}∞n = 1. Make a table with at least ten terms and determine a plausible limit of the sequence or state that the sequence diverges. an = n2 + narrow_forwardlimit as n approaches infinity of an, if you know that the sequence (an) satisfies the equation an+1=squareroot of an and an>0 for all n indexesarrow_forward
