Does this sequence diverge or converge? \[\Large \frac{e^n-e^{-n}}{e^{2n}-1}\]

OpenStudy (dan815):

Converge

OpenStudy (dan815):

xD

OpenStudy (dan815):

sum of that right for n from 0 to inf?

OpenStudy (dan815):

Not sure let me calculate it xD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

converg

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

This isn't series btw

OpenStudy (dan815):

oh..

OpenStudy (dan815):

Then what do you want to know about this

OpenStudy (cosma09):

converg

OpenStudy (dan815):

The numerator is 2Sinh x, hyperbolic sin fuction

OpenStudy (cosma09):

yeah how did you know dan

OpenStudy (dan815):

seen it before

OpenStudy (anonymous):

dan invented math, that's how?

OpenStudy (cosma09):

cool

OpenStudy (dan815):

:D

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

So it converges to 0?

OpenStudy (dan815):

luigi, the top is a function of x and the bottom a function of n, so I am not quite sure what you are asking

OpenStudy (dan815):

are the values of n increasing in a series, otherwise for any values of n and x, you will find certain output value.

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

Oh crap, I didn't even notice.. they were all suppose to be n..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

For the first "series" from 0 to infinity, if you let 2n = 2x so there's only one variable, it equals e/(e-1)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it converges at 1.58 blah blah blah

OpenStudy (dan815):

okay and its a sum of n from 0 to inf right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, the sum converges to that number

OpenStudy (dan815):

Lets do convergence tests on it to see if it converges still

OpenStudy (dan815):

@Kainui what test?? integral tests?

OpenStudy (kainui):

What? I just got here, I'm not even sure I know what's going on to be honest? Converging how? Like as n approaches 0 or n approaches infinity?

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

Actually, you don't need a test for this.. just \[\Large \lim_{x \rightarrow \infty} \frac{e^n-e^{-n}}{e^{2n}-1}\]

OpenStudy (dan815):

Oh i thought it was a series

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

It does say "sequence" at the question xD But how would I solve that limit? .-.

OpenStudy (dan815):

okay well you know it will be e^inf/e^(2inf) so its pretty obvious it must converge to 0

OpenStudy (kainui):

Are you allowed to use L'Hopital's rule?

OpenStudy (dan815):

we can divide top and bottom by e^n to see more clearly
