limit n tend to( n/2^n)the sequences is converge or diverg
as n tends to infinity?
use l'Hospiatals rule, do you know it?
yes n tends to infinity
I recommend using l'Hospital if you know it
yes i know it hotial rule but procedure dont know . i mean step
when you have a form like\[\pm\frac\infty\infty\]or\[\frac00\]you can take the derivative of the top and bottom, then try taking the limit again this is called l'Hospital's Rule what is the derivative of the numerator?
top derivative is zero and bottom../?
this is l'Hospital in action:\[\lim_{n\to\infty}\{a_n\}=\lim_{n\to\infty}{n\over2^n}=\lim_{n\to\infty}{\frac d{dn}(n)\over\frac d{dn}(2^n)}\]the derivative of n with respect to n is not zero please try again
what is the derivative of 2^n
\[\frac d{dx}(a^x)=a^x\ln a\]
but you still haven't told me what the derivative of n is
derivative of n is 1..?
yes :)
and what is the derivative of 2^n ?
sorry sir i can't understand.. can u explain ..:(
\[\frac d{dx}(a^x)=a^x\ln a\]you do not understand this formula?
no
\[\frac d{dx}(a^x)=a^x\ln a\]examples:\[\frac d{dx}(5^x)=5^x\ln 5\]\[\frac d{dx}(132^x)=132^x\ln (132)\]\[\frac d{dx}(\pi^x)=\pi^x\ln\pi\]what is \(a\) in your case?
2
right, so applying the formula\[\frac d{dx}(a^x)=a^x\ln a\]to\[\frac d{dx}(2^x)\]you get what?
2^xln2
exactly :)
but in our case 2^nln(n) and the value of is infinity..
why do you say ln(n) ? it will be ln2
Remember how l'Hospital works: derivative of top and bottom separately when we have \(\pm\frac\infty\infty\) or \(\frac00\) so the derivative of the top is 1 the derivative of the bottom is (2^x)ln(2) so we have\[\lim_{n\to\infty}\{a_n\}=\lim_{n\to\infty}{n\over2^n}=\lim_{n\to\infty}{\frac d{dn}(n)\over\frac d{dn}(2^n)}=\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac1{2^n\ln 2}\]and that limit you can take, and it is...?
2^n and n tends to infinity the 2^n i also infinity
ln2 is 0.69
ln(2) is a constant, so it doesn't tend to anything 2^n tends to infinity, so the whole fraction tends to...?
infinity. bottom value is infinity ans1/infinity is zero. so our sequence is converg
yep :)
than u so much what a explain.. thanks jazak allah
you are welcome! please ask if you need more clarification
nsin(pi/n)
once again, I ask you to please post every question separately thank you
it is also considered polite to click the button that says "best answer" if you like that answer not that I care, but it is how the site works
thanks again i am very thankful to u
