Exercise 3

Prove that the sequence ${ a }_{ n } = \frac { { n }^{ 2 } }{ { n}^{ 2 } + 3 }$ has a limit of $1$ and calculate how many terms of the succession are not within $(1 - 0.001, 1 + 0.001)$ .

Exercise 4

Prove that $\lim_{ \frac { 3n - 8 }{ 4n + 1 } } = \frac { 3 }{ 4 }$ . Also, calculate the terms whose distance from the limit is less than $0.01$ .

Exercise 5

Exercise 6

Prove that the sequence ${ a }_{ n } = - { n }^{ 2 }$ a has a limit of $- \infty$ . Also, what term of the sequence produces values of less than $-10,000$ ?

Solution of exercise 1

Prove that the sequence ${ a }_{ n } = \frac { 2n + 4 }{ n }$ has a limit of $2$ . Also, calculate the terms whose distance from $2$ is less than $0.1$ .

$\left | \frac { 2n + 4 }{ n } - 2 \right | < \frac { 1 }{ 10 }$

$\left | \frac { 2n + 4 - 2n }{ n } \right | < \frac { 1 }{ 10 }$

$\left | \frac { 4 }{ n } \right | < \frac { 1 }{ 10 }$

$\frac { 4 }{ n } < \frac { 1 }{ 10 }$

$n > 40$

From ${ a }_{ 41 }$ the distance to $2$ is less than $0.1$

Solution of exercise 2

Prove that the sequence ${ a }_{ n } = \frac { 4n + 1 }{ n }$ has a limit of $4$ and calculate how many terms of the succession are not within $(4 - 0.001, 4 + 0.001)$ .

$\left | \frac { 4n + 1 }{ n } - 4 \right | < \frac { 1 }{ 1000 }$

$\left | \frac { 4n + 1 -4n }{ n } \right | < \frac { 1 }{ 1000 }$

$\left | \frac { 1 }{ n } \right | < \frac { 1 }{ 1000 }$

$\frac { 1 }{ n } < \frac { 1 }{ 1000 }$

$n > 1000$

The first thousand terms of the sequence are out.

Solution of exercise 3

Prove that the sequence ${ a }_{ n } = \frac { { n }^{ 2 } }{ { n}^{ 2 } + 3 }$ has a limit of $1$ and calculate how many terms of the succession are not within $(1 - 0.001, 1 + 0.001)$ .

$\left | \frac { { n }^{ 2 } }{ { n }^{ 2 } + 3 } - 1 \right | < \frac { 1 }{ 1000 }$

$\left | \frac { -3 }{ { n }^{ 2 } + 3 } \right | < \frac { 1 }{ 1000 }$

$\frac { 3 }{ { n }^{ 2 } + 3 } < \frac { 1 }{ 1000 }$

${ n }^{ 2 } + 3 > 3000$

${ n }^{ 2 } > 2997$

$n > 54$

The first $54$ terms are out.

Solution of exercise 4

Prove that $\lim_{ \frac { 3n - 8 }{ 4n + 1 } } = \frac { 3 }{ 4 }$ . Also, calculate the terms whose distance from the limit is less than $0.01$ .

$\left | \frac { 3n - 8 }{ 4n + 1 } - \frac { 3 }{ 4 } \right | < \frac { 1 }{ 100 }$

$\left | \frac { 12n - 32 - 12n - 3 }{ 16n + 4 } \right | < \frac { 1 }{ 100 }$

$\left | \frac { -35 }{ 16n + 4 } \right | < \frac { 1 }{ 100 }$

$\frac { 35 }{ 16n + 4 }| < \frac { 1 }{ 100 }$

$16n + 4 > 3500$

$n > 218.5$

From ${ n }_{ 219 }$ the distance to the limit is less than $0.01$ .

Solution of exercise 5

Prove that the sequence ${ a }_{ n } = \frac { { n }^{ 2 } + 1 }{ 4 }$ has a limit of $+ \infty$ and determine how many terms in the sequence are less than a million?

$\frac { { n }^{ 2 } + 1 }{ 4 } > 1,000,000$

$n > \sqrt { 3,999,999 } \qquad n > 1,999$

The $1,999$ first terms of the sequence.

Solution of exercise 6

Prove that the sequence ${ a }_{ n } = - { n }^{ 2 }$ a has a limit of $- \infty$ . Also, what term of the sequence produces values of less than $-10,000$ ?

$-1, -4, -9, -16, -25, -36, -49, ...$

$- { n }^{ 2 } < - N \qquad n > \sqrt { N }$

If $N = 10,000$ , its square root is $100$ , therefore, ${ a }_{ 101 }$ a₁₀₁ will be less than $-10,000$ .

${ a }_{ 101 } = - { 101 }^{ 2 } = - 10,201$
