Video Example EXAMPLE 2 Fid a formula for the geeral term of the sequece below, assumig that the patter of the first few terms cotiues. 2/3, -3/9, 4/27, -5/81, 6/243,... SOLUTION We are give that a 1, a 2 -, a 3, a 4 -, a tice that the umerators of these fractios start with 2 ad icrease by wheever we go to the ext term. The secod term has umerator 3, the third term has umerator 4; i geeral, the th term will have umerator. The deomiators are powers of 3, so a has deomiator. The sigs of the terms are alterately positive ad egative so we eed to multiply by a power of -1. Here we wat to start with a positive term ad so we use (-1) -1 or (-1) +1. Therefore, (-1) /8

2 2. 3/3 poits Previous Aswers SCalc AE.010. Video Example EXAMPLE 9 Discuss the covergece of the sequece below, where! ! 2 SOLUTION Both umerator ad deomiator approach ifiity as, but here we have o correspodig fuctio for use with l'hospital's rule (x! is ot defied whe x is ot a iteger.) Let's write out a few terms to get a feelig for what happes to a as gets large. a 1 3 3(1 2) a (1 2 3) a ( ) It appears from these expressios that the terms are decreasig ad perhaps approach 0. To cofirm this, observe that ( ) tice that the expressio i paretheses is at most 1 because the umerator is less tha (or equal to) the deomiator. So 0 < a < We kow that 3/ 2 0 as. Therefore a 0 as by the Squeeze Theorem. 2/8

3 3. 6/6 poits Previous Aswers SCalc AE.011. EXAMPLE 10 For what values of r is the sequece below coverget? (r /4)^(2 ) SOLUTION We kow that x a x for a > 1 ad x a x 0 for 0 < a < 1. Therefore, puttig a r/4 ad usig Theorem 3, we have _(->ifiity) (r /4)^(2 ) {(ifiity text( if ) r /4 > 1,0 text( if ) 0 < r /4 < 1) It is obvious that _(->ifiity)1^(2 ) 1 _(->ifiity)0^(2 ) ad If -1 < r/4 < 0, the 0 < r/4 < 1, so _(->ifiity) (r /4)^(2 ) _(->ifiity) r /4 ^(2 ) 0 Video Example ad therefore x (r /4) 2 0 by Theorem 6. If r -4 the {(r/4) 2 }. The figures show the graphs for various values of r. 4. 5/5 poits Previous Aswers TaCalcET Write the first five terms of the sequece a whose th term is give. a 2 a 3 a 4 a 5 5/3 6/5 1 8/9 5. 2/5 poits Previous Aswers TaCalcET Write the first five terms of the sequece whose th term is give. a 1 a 2 a 3 a 4 1 3/2 5/6 7/ (2 1)! a 5 9/ /8
