Math Problem Statement
Konvergiert die Folge f_n = (-1)^n / n?
Solution
The question is asking whether the sequence converges.
To determine the convergence of this sequence, let's analyze the general behavior of .
Solution:
- The term alternates between and , so the sequence oscillates in sign.
- However, as increases, the term tends to .
- Since is of the form , the oscillations get smaller as grows because .
Therefore, despite the oscillation in signs, the sequence converges to as .
Conclusion:
The answer to the question is:
- a. Ja (Yes)
Would you like a more detailed explanation of the convergence?
Here are 5 related questions to expand your understanding:
- What is the difference between absolute and conditional convergence?
- How does the behavior of an alternating sequence differ from a non-alternating one in terms of convergence?
- What is the definition of convergence for a sequence?
- What is the general method to test if a sequence converges to zero?
- How would the convergence change if the sequence was instead of ?
Tip: To test for convergence, observe the behavior of the sequence as approaches infinity.
