Assignment mth621

The document is a solution to Question 1 of Assignment 2 for a mathematics course. It uses the ratio test to determine if a sequence of terms defined by an = (n-1)! / (n+1)2 converges. The ratio test involves taking the limit of the ratio of successive terms as n approaches infinity. The solution simplifies the ratio of terms and shows that the limit approaches 0, indicating the sequence converges.

Assignment#2

Mth623 (spring 2023)


Question#1

Solution:
Here
( n−1 ) !
a n=
( n+1 )2

( n+1−1 ) ! (n)!
a n+1= =
( n+1+1 ) ( n+2 )2
2

By ratio test
(n )!
an +1 ( n+2 )2
=
an ( n−1 ) !
2
( n+1 )

(n) ! ( n+1 )2
¿ 2
×
( n+2 ) ( n−1 ) !
2
an+1 n ( n−1 ) ! ( n+1 )
lim =lim ¿ × ¿
n→∞ a n n → ∞ ( n+2 )2 ( n−1 ) !

∴(n) !=n(n−1) !

2
an+1 n ( n+1 )
lim =lim ¿ 2
¿
n→∞ an n→∞ ( n+2 )

an+1 n ( n +1+2 n )
2
lim =lim ¿ 2 ¿
n→ ∞ an n→∞ n +4 +4 n
an+1 ( n3 +n+2 n2 )
lim =lim ¿ 2 ¿
n→ ∞ an n→∞ n + 4+ 4 n
an+1
lim =lim ¿ ¿
n→∞ an n→ ∞

2
n + 4+ 4 n
