This is incorrect. Here is a correct solution: http://mathcentral.uregina.ca/QQ/database/QQ.09.06/s/christina1.html"

Hmmm... (2*60)^(1/60) - 1 is approx 0.08 I think 733 is the answer, but I still think there must be another way besides trial and error / using the calculator

I want to find the smallest value of N (n > N) such that the following is true: abs((2n)^(1/n) - 1) < 0.01 So basically, I'm looking for the term of the sequence (2n)^(1/n) which is less than 0.01 from the limit of the sequence... by trial and error, I found it to be 734. But I'm...

OK... well, a little research and I think I answered my own question. It really is an ill-definied integral, because when broken up into the limit of two separate integrals, there are an infinite number of ways this can be done, with one side approaching zero at a different speed than the...

Can someone explain why the following improper integral diverges? Integral 1/x dx from -1 to 1 I know if you break it up the individual integrals (from -1 to 0 and 0 to 1) diverge to negative infinity and infinity, whose sum is indeterminant in general, but the symmetry of the integral...
