Math Problem Statement
find the limit for c(n) = a(n) x b(n)
Solution
To find the limit of the sequence , we analyze the limits of and individually.
Case 1: Both Sequences Converge
If and , then:
Case 2: One Sequence Diverges
- If diverges to and converges to a nonzero limit , then also diverges to .
- If and is bounded, then .
- If both and diverge to infinity, then unless their growth rates balance in such a way that they converge to a finite limit.
Case 3: Indeterminate Forms
If one sequence approaches 0 while the other approaches infinity (e.g., and ), then the limit depends on the rate of decay/growth of each sequence. This may require L'Hôpital’s Rule or asymptotic analysis.

- How do logarithmic or exponential sequences affect the limit?
Tip: When facing an indeterminate form, consider rewriting the expression using logarithms, exponentials, or L'Hôpital’s Rule.
