MATHEMATICS Convergent sequence
.The sequence
is the product of two
sequences the geometric sequence cn = (0,5)n and the
. And
using the theorm ( If
is a real number, then
)
the sequence dn converges to 0.
the sequence cn = (0,5)n is geometric with quotient q = 0,5 5 (-1, 1), so the limit is 0.
Using the theorem: If a sequence
has limit a, and a sequence
has limit b ( where
), then
,
we have
Method 2:
When calculating the limit of the sequence
is
enough to note that the numerator is a sequence of geometric with
quotient
q = 0.5 5 (-1, 1),
so it converges to 0, and
the denominator is diverge ( + K ), therefore the sequence
converges to 0.
