L IMITS OF I NFINITE S EQUENCES Ch. 13 (4)
What happens to each term as n gets very large?
Theorem: If |r|<1, then (sometimes it helps to put in very, very large numbers for n) Example:
F IND THE FOLLOWING L IMITS (H INT : P UT VERY !!! LARGE NUMBERS IN FOR N )
H INTS FOR FINDING 1. If the degree of the numerator is less than the degree of the denominator, lim = 0 2. If the degree of the numerator is greater than the degree of the denominator, lim = DNE, 3. If the degree of the numerator = degree of denominator, the limit is the ratio of the lead coefficients.
