A certain radioactive isotope has a half-life of 5 days. If one is to make a table showing the half-life decay of a sample of this isotope from 32 grams to 1 gram; list the time (in days, starting with t = 0) in the first column and the mass remaining (in grams) in the second column, which type of sequence is used in the first column and which type of sequence is used in the second column?
The nth term of a sequence is represented by 2n4+25n2+32n−156n4+2n3−11n2−2n+17.
What is the limit of the the nth term as x becomes increasingly large?
I want to determine whether the sequence {ln(n) / ln(4n)} converges or not. When finding the limit as n approaches infinity, I have used logarithmic rules to make the sequence ln(n) / [ln(n) + ln(4)], but past this, I do not understand what to do. Why can I not cancel the ln(n) out, as it is in both the numerator in denominator? And if I cannot cancel them out, does the sequence still approach infinity / infinity? I know that the final answer is one, but how do I get to it?
