Math Problem Statement
Prove that sequence {an} ={3n-1/4n=5} is convergent.
Solution
To prove that the sequence is convergent, we need to find its limit as .
Step-by-step proof:
-
Expression of the sequence:
-
Divide numerator and denominator by :
To simplify the expression as approaches infinity, divide both the numerator and the denominator by :
-
Take the limit as :
Now, we can take the limit of the simplified expression as approaches infinity:
As , and . So, the expression simplifies to:
