Get started for freeGraph the curves\(y = {x^n}\),\(0 \le x \le 1\), for\(n = 0,1,2,3,4,....\)on a common screen. By finding the areas between successive curves, give a geometric demonstration of the fact, shown in Example 6, that
\(\sum\limits_{n = 1}^\infty {\frac{1}{{n(n + 1)}}} = 1\)
Prove that if \(\mathop {\lim }\limits_{n \to \infty } {a_n} = 0\)and {\({b_n}\)} is bounded, then \(\mathop {\lim }\limits_{n \to \infty } ({a_n}{b_n}) = 0.\)
Determine whether the sequence converges or diverges. If it converges, find the limit.
\({a_n} = \ln (n + 1) - \ln n\)
Suppose you know that\(\left\{ {{{\bf{a}}_{\bf{n}}}} \right\}\)is a decreasing sequence and all its terms lie between the numbers 5 and 8 . Explain why the sequence has a limit. What can you say about the value of the limit?
Calculate the first eight terms of the sequence of partial sums correct to four decimal places. Does it appear that the series is convergent or divergent?
\(\sum\limits_{n = 1}^\infty {\frac{1}{{{n^3}}}} \)
