Solution

Let's go through the problems you've shared.

Problem Breakdown:

  1. 17-20: Determine whether the sequence 2,32,2,74,2,,2n+12n,2, \frac{3}{2}, 2, \frac{7}{4}, 2, \dots, \frac{2n+1}{2n}, \dots converges or diverges.
  2. 21-25: Evaluate limn2n33n2+1n4+2n3n2\lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{2n^3 - 3n^2 + 1}{n^4 + 2n^3 - n^2}.
  3. 31-35: Find limx0ln(ex1)lnx\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{\ln(e^x - 1)}{\ln x}.
  4. 41-45: Find tan3xcos3xdx\int \frac{\tan^3 x}{\cos^3 x} \, dx.
  5. 46-50: Evaluate 011x2dx\int_0^1 \sqrt{1 - x^2} \, dx.

Solutions:

  1. 17-20: Convergence of the Sequence The sequence given is an=2n+12na_n = \frac{2n+1}{2n}. To check if it converges: limn2n+12n=limn(1+12n)=1.\lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{2n+1}{2n} = \lim_{n \to \infty} \left(1 + \frac{1}{2n}\right) = 1. Hence, the sequence converges to 1.

  2. 21-25: Limit Evaluation limn2n33n2+1n4+2n3n2.\lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{2n^3 - 3n^2 + 1}{n^4 + 2n^3 - n^2}. Dividing both numerator and denominator by n4n^4: =limn2n3n2+1n41+2n1n2=0.= \lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{\frac{2}{n} - \frac{3}{n^2} + \frac{1}{n^4}}{1 + \frac{2}{n} - \frac{1}{n^2}} = 0.

  3. 31-35: Limit Problem To find limx0ln(ex1)lnx\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{\ln(e^x - 1)}{\ln x}, we can apply L'Hopital's rule since it is in the form 00\frac{0}{0} as x0x \to 0. Differentiating both the numerator and denominator: [ \frac{d}{dx} [\ln(e^x - 1)] = \frac{1}{e^x - 1} \cdot e^x, \quad \frac{d}{dx} [\ln x] = \frac{1}{x}. ] Applying L'Hopital's rule: limx0ln(ex1)lnx=limx0exex11x=limx0exxex1.\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{\ln(e^x - 1)}{\ln x} = \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{\frac{e^x}{e^x - 1}}{\frac{1}{x}} = \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{e^x x}{e^x - 1}. Using the approximation ex1xe^x - 1 \approx x as x0x \to 0, we get: limx0exxx=limx0ex=1.\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{e^x x}{x} = \lim_{x \to 0} e^x = 1.

  4. 41-45: Integral tan3xcos3xdx\int \frac{\tan^3 x}{\cos^3 x} \, dx First, rewrite tan3xcos3x\frac{\tan^3 x}{\cos^3 x} as sin3xcos6x\frac{\sin^3 x}{\cos^6 x}, then split the integral: sin3xcos6xdx.\int \frac{\sin^3 x}{\cos^6 x} \, dx. Using trigonometric identities and substitution, you can simplify and solve the integral, but the result involves a more complex form, including trigonometric substitution. We can proceed with a substitution, say u=cosxu = \cos x, to solve it step-by-step.

  5. 46-50: Evaluate 011x2dx\int_0^1 \sqrt{1 - x^2} \, dx This is a standard integral representing the area of a quarter of a unit circle. The result is: 011x2dx=π4.\int_0^1 \sqrt{1 - x^2} \, dx = \frac{\pi}{4}.


Do you need further details on any of the solutions? Here are a few related questions to extend your learning:

  1. Can you generalize the convergence criterion for sequences like in 17-20?
  2. What happens to the limit in 21-25 if the highest degree terms are different in the numerator and denominator?
  3. How would you approach the limit problem in 31-35 if L'Hopital's rule wasn't applicable?
  4. What other techniques could be used to evaluate the integral in 41-45?
  5. Why does the integral in 46-50 represent the area of a quarter circle?

Tip: For complex integrals, substitutions like u=sinxu = \sin x or u=cosxu = \cos x can simplify expressions involving trigonometric powers.
