NOTE Occasioally, it is coveiet to begi a sequece with a 0, so that the terms of the sequece become a 0, a, a, a,..., a,... STUDY TIP Some sequeces are defied recursively. To defie a sequece recursively, you eed to be give oe or more of the first few terms. All other terms of the sequece are the defied usig previous terms, as show i Example (d). Sequeces List the terms of a sequece. Determie whether a sequece coverges or diverges. Write a formula for the th term of a sequece. Use properties of mootoic sequeces ad bouded sequeces. Sequeces I mathematics, the word sequece is used i much the same way as i ordiary Eglish. To say that a collectio of objects or evets is i sequece usually meas that the collectio is ordered so that it has a idetified first member, secod member, third member, ad so o. Mathematically, a sequece is defied as a fuctio whose domai is the set of positive itegers. Although a sequece is a fuctio, it is commo to represet sequeces by subscript otatio rather tha by the stadard fuctio otatio. For istace, i the sequece,,,, a, Sequece is mapped oto a, is mapped oto a, ad so o. The umbers a, a, a,..., a,... are the terms of the sequece. The umber a is the th term of the sequece, ad the etire sequece is deoted by a. EXAMPLE Listig the Terms of a Sequece a. The terms of the sequece a are,,,,...,,,, b.

2 60_090.qxd //0 : PM Page 595 SECTION 9. Sequeces 595 Limit of a Sequece The primary focus of this chapter cocers sequeces whose terms approach itig values. Such sequeces are said to coverge. For istace, the sequece,, 8, 6,,... coverges to 0, as idicated i the followig defiitio. y = a L + ε L L ε 5 6 M For > M, the terms of the sequece all lie withi uits of L. Figure 9. Defiitio of the Limit of a Sequece Let L be a real umber. The it of a sequece a is L, writte as a L if for each > 0, there exists M > 0 such that wheever > M. If the it L of a sequece exists, the the sequece coverges to L. If the it of a sequece does ot exist, the the sequece diverges. a L < Graphically, this defiitio says that evetually (for > M ad > 0) the terms of a sequece that coverges to L will lie withi the bad betwee the lies y L ad y L, as show i Figure 9.. If a sequece a agrees with a fuctio f at every positive iteger, ad if f x approaches a it L as x, the sequece must coverge to the same it L. THEOREM 9. Limit of a Sequece Let L be a real umber. Let f be a fuctio of a real variable such that f x L. x If a is a sequece such that f a for every positive iteger, the a L. EXAMPLE Fidig the Limit of a Sequece NOTE There are differet ways i which a sequece ca fail to have a it. Oe way is that the terms of the sequece icrease without boud or decrease without boud. These cases are writte symbolically as follows. Terms icrease without boud: a Terms decrease without boud: a Fid the it of the sequece whose th term is Solutio a. I Theorem 5.5, you leared that x x x e. So, you ca apply Theorem 9. to coclude that a e.

5 60_090.qxd //0 : PM Page CHAPTER 9 Ifiite Series I Example 5, the sequece c has both positive ad egative terms. For this sequece, it happes that the sequece of absolute values, c, also coverges to 0. You ca show this by the Squeeze Theorem usig the iequality 0!,. I such cases, it is ofte coveiet to cosider the sequece of absolute values ad the apply Theorem 9., which states that if the absolute value sequece coverges to 0, the origial siged sequece also coverges to 0.

Patter Recogitio for Sequeces Sometimes the terms of a sequece are geerated by some rule that does ot explicitly idetify the th term of the sequece. I such cases, you may be required to discover a patter i the sequece ad to describe the th term. Oce the th term has bee specified, you ca ivestigate the covergece or divergece of the sequece. EXAMPLE 6 Fidig the th Term of a Sequece Fid a sequece a whose first five terms are,, 8 5, 6 7, 9,... ad the determie whether the particular sequece you have chose coverges or diverges. Solutio First, ote that the umerators are successive powers of, ad the deomiators form the sequece of positive odd itegers. By comparig a with, you have the followig patter.,, 5, 7, 5 9,..., Usig L Hôpital s Rule to evaluate the it of f x x x, you obtai x x x l x x So, the sequece diverges..

6 60_090.qxd //0 : PM Page 599 SECTION 9. Sequeces 599 Without a specific rule for geeratig the terms of a sequece or some kowledge of the cotext i which the terms of the sequece are obtaied, it is ot possible to determie the covergece or divergece of the sequece merely from its first several terms. For istace, although the first three terms of the followig four sequeces are idetical, the first two sequeces coverge to 0, the third sequece coverges to 9, ad the fourth sequece diverges. a :,, 8, 6,...,,... b :,, 8, 5,..., 6 6,... c :,, 8, 7 6,..., 9 5 8,... d :,, 8, 0,...,,... 6 The process of determiig a th term from the patter observed i the first several terms of a sequece is a example of iductive reasoig. EXAMPLE 7 Fidig the th Term of a Sequece Determie a th term for a sequece whose first five terms are, 8, 6 6, 80, 0,... ad the decide whether the sequece coverges or diverges. Solutio Note that the umerators are less tha. So, you ca reaso that the umerators are give by the rule. Factorig the deomiators produces This suggests that the deomiators are represeted by!. Fially, because the sigs alterate, you ca write the th term as a!. From the discussio about the growth of!, it follows that a 0.! Applyig Theorem 9., you ca coclude that a 0. So, the sequece a coverges to 0....

7 60_090.qxd //0 : PM Page CHAPTER 9 Ifiite Series Mootoic Sequeces ad Bouded Sequeces a So far you have determied the covergece of a sequece by fidig its it. Eve if you caot determie the it of a particular sequece, it still may be useful to kow whether the sequece coverges. Theorem 9.5 provides a test for covergece of sequeces without determiig the it. First, some preiary defiitios are give. a a Defiitio of a Mootoic Sequece a a {a } = { + ( ) } A sequece a is mootoic if its terms are odecreasig a a a... a... or if its terms are oicreasig a a a... a.... (a) Not mootoic EXAMPLE 8 Determiig Whether a Sequece Is Mootoic b c (b) Mootoic {c } = c c c c {b } = { + } { } (c) Not mootoic Figure 9. b b b b Determie whether each sequece havig the give th term is mootoic. a. a b. b c. c Solutio a. This sequece alterates betwee ad. So, it is ot mootoic. b. This sequece is mootoic because each successive term is larger tha its predecessor. To see this, compare the terms b ad b. [Note that, because is positive, you ca multiply each side of the iequality by ad without reversig the iequality sig.] b <? <? b <? 0 < Startig with the fial iequality, which is valid, you ca reverse the steps to coclude that the origial iequality is also valid. c. This sequece is ot mootoic, because the secod term is larger tha the first term, ad larger tha the third. (Note that if you drop the first term, the remaiig sequece c, c, c,... is mootoic.) Figure 9. graphically illustrates these three sequeces. NOTE I Example 8(b), aother way to see that the sequece is mootoic is to argue that the derivative of the correspodig differetiable fuctio f x x x is positive for all x. This implies that f is icreasig, which i tur implies that a is icreasig.

8 60_090.qxd //0 : PM Page 60 SECTION 9. Sequeces 60 NOTE All three sequeces show i Figure 9. are bouded. To see this, cosider the followig. a b 0 c Defiitio of a Bouded Sequece. A sequece a is bouded above if there is a real umber M such that a M for all. The umber M is called a upper boud of the sequece.. A sequece a is bouded below if there is a real umber N such that N a for all. The umber N is called a lower boud of the sequece.. A sequece a is bouded if it is bouded above ad bouded below. Oe importat property of the real umbers is that they are complete. Iformally, this meas that there are o holes or gaps o the real umber lie. (The set of ratioal umbers does ot have the completeess property.) The completeess axiom for real umbers ca be used to coclude that if a sequece has a upper boud, it must have a least upper boud (a upper boud that is smaller tha all other upper bouds for the sequece). For example, the least upper boud of the sequece a,,,, 5,...,,... is. The completeess axiom is used i the proof of Theorem 9.5. THEOREM 9.5 Bouded Mootoic Sequeces If a sequece a is bouded ad mootoic, the it coverges. L a a a a a a L a a a 5 5 Every bouded odecreasig sequece coverges. Figure 9. Proof Assume that the sequece is odecreasig, as show i Figure 9.. For the sake of simplicity, also assume that each term i the sequece is positive. Because the sequece is bouded, there must exist a upper boud M such that a a a... a... M. From the completeess axiom, it follows that there is a least upper boud L such that a a a... a... L. For > 0, it follows that L < L, ad therefore L caot be a upper boud for the sequece. Cosequetly, at least oe term of a is greater tha L. That is, L < a N for some positive iteger N. Because the terms of a are odecreasig, it follows that a N a for > N. You ow kow that L < a N a L < L, for every > N. It follows that a L < for > N, which by defiitio meas that a coverges to L. The proof for a oicreasig sequece is similar. EXAMPLE 9 Bouded ad Mootoic Sequeces a. The sequece a is both bouded ad mootoic ad so, by Theorem 9.5, must coverge. b. The diverget sequece b is mootoic, but ot bouded. (It is bouded below.) c. The diverget sequece c is bouded, but ot mootoic.
