Math Problem Statement
Why does n+1/n^2 converge
Solution
The expression converges because, as increases, the value of the expression approaches zero.
Here's a step-by-step explanation:
-
Break down the expression: This shows that the expression can be split into two simpler terms: and .
-
Analyze the terms:
- The term decreases as increases and approaches 0.
- The term also decreases as increases, but it does so much faster than and also approaches 0.
-
Add the terms:
- As increases, both and approach 0. Therefore, their sum, , also approaches 0.
-
Conclusion: Since the entire expression tends toward 0 as grows larger, we say that the expression converges to 0. The convergence is because both individual components of the expression and converge to 0 as approaches infinity.
