does this converge or diverge? If the sequence does converge, what number do the terms of the sequence converge to?
\[a^n=(-1)^n100*n \over 100+n\]
\(\Large a^n=\)\(\Large \frac{(-1)^n100*n}{100+n}\)
yes
do you knwo?
I would say diverges... not sure though.. :/
oh hmm
the last example is pretty helpful... http://www.wolframalpha.com/widgets/view.jsp?id=a787670f0f1047d7fbe288763c55ba14
so i would say Divierge @jessicawade

it does not converge because of the (-1)^n , it alternates. The absolute terms of the sequence converge to 100, but the (-1)^n makes it alternate so for very large n you have the sequence ... , -99.99, 99.999, -99.9999, etc
Yup exactly like the last example in Khan's video I gave :P
