Given a sequence 32, 16, 4, 18, 9, 3, .... The next numbers are .... A. 17, 8, 5 B. 17, 6 C. 17, 4 D. 16, 4 E. 14, 8 My train of thought was to group the sequence into three numbers, so we get (32, 16, 4) and (18, 9, 3). 32 is two times of 16 which is square of 4. 18 is two times of 9 which is...

Studying delta sequences and am wondering if ##\phi_n(x)## is a delta sequence (it resembles and validates the sifting property), will ##\phi_n(x - a)## or ##\phi_n(whatever)## respect the sifting property ? I think I get confused in the semantics, because reading my textbook, I get the...

Okay, i was able to solve it by trial and error, i am seeking for a more concrete approach. Can combination work here? or a more solid approach using sequences? or probability itself? My trial and error, ##P_{green} = \dfrac{9}{12}×\dfrac{8}{11} ×\dfrac{7}{10}×\dfrac{6}{9}×\dfrac{3}{8} =...

Below is Proposition 1.15 in Folland at the beginning of the section of Borel measures on ##\mathbb R## (he is trying to construct a measure from ##F##). Here the algebra ##\mathcal{A}## is the finite disjoint union of h-intervals, where h-interval is a set of the form ##(a,b]##, ##(a,\infty)##...

Let ##\mathbb{R}^\omega_{+}## be the set of all sequences ##(a_n)_{n=1}^\infty## of positive real numbers. Determine the infimum $$\inf\left\{\limsup_{n \to \infty} \left(\frac{1 + a_{n+1}}{a_n}\right)^n : (a_n) \in \mathbb{R}^\omega_{+}\right\}$$

The series that is given is $$\frac12+\frac13+\left(\frac12\right)^2+\left(\frac13\right)^2+\left(\frac12\right)^3+\left(\frac13\right)^3+\ldots.$$ Now, it's easy to see these are two separate geometric series, however, Spivak claims the ratio test fails because the ratio of successive terms...

Unfortunately, I have problems with the following task For task 1, I proceeded as follows. Since the four bases have the same probability, this is ##P=\frac{1}{4}## I then simply used this probability in the formula for the Shannon entropy...

I've been given the proof, but don't understand; to calculate the limit of ##f## when ##x## tends to zero it's enough to see that if ##\{x_n\}_{n=1}^\infty## is a sequence that tends to ##0##, then...

Consider the following: We start with a positive integer: x If x is even, do x/2 If is odd, do Floor function( x * y) with y being some decimal number between 1 and 2 And repeat until a loop is reached. If 1 is reached, the next number will be 1 as well. So we reach a loop too. An example: x =...

Prove the existence of a strictly increasing sequence ##m_1 < m_2 < m_3 < \cdots## of integers satisfying the property that for all positive integers ##\ell##, the sequence ##\sin(\ell m_1), \sin(\ell m_2), \sin (\ell m_3),\ldots## converges.

I have tried inserting 0.955 in the above formula for the sum of a geometric series and setting it equal to 3,000,000 (S_n) with n =3. This did not work out well My second attempt was, considering that the payment is paid every year in the future, to use the convergence formula. There k = 0.955...

I don't understand what the question is asking. the nth term of the first sequence i can calculate to be -2n+4, while 2n-24 is the nth term for the second sequence. now what? The question isn't clear.

I've started by writing down the definitions, so we have $$x_n-y_n\rightarrow 0\, \Rightarrow \, \forall w>0, \exists \, n_w\in\mathbb{N}:n>n_{w}\,\Rightarrow\,|x_n-y_n|<w $$ $$(x_n)\, \text{is Cauchy} \, \Rightarrow \,\forall w>0, \exists \, n_0\in\mathbb{N}:m,n>n_{0}\,\Rightarrow\,|x_m-x_n|<w...

Let us just lay down some definitions. Both sequences are equivalent iff for each ##\epsilon>0## , there exists an N>0 such that for all n>N, ##|a_n-b_n|<\epsilon##. A sequence is a Cauchy sequence iff ##\forall\epsilon>0:(\exists N>0: (\forall j,k>N:|a_j-a_k|>\epsilon))##. We proceeded by...

I was just reading about DNA sequencing. In my view, DNA can be modeled into an ordered sequence of nucleobases, as if the two strands were joined into a single strand (just like in RNA). The first half of the sequence models the first strand. The four nucleobases are numbered from 0 to 3...

Hello there.Is there any function or sequence that has no limits at any point? I am not necessarily talking about functions on euclidean spaces, they could be on topological spaces in general.Also, we have homeomorphism that is about I think mostly continuity, diffeomorphism about...

A sequence is made up of two sequences an=(n^2)/(n+2) - (n^2)/(n+3) The problem asks for the solver to work out if it's converging or diverging, and find a limit if possible. My first thought was to write both over a common denominator and then divide through by the dominant term; this...

The book is Calculus: Basic Concepts for High School on the first page you are given the following sequence: 1, -1, 1/3, -1/3, 1/5, -1/5, 1/7, -1/7, ... several pages later the rule is given: in the second rule, for the first term in the sequence, the coefficient of one of the terms is 1/0...

Of the various notions of convergence for sequences of functions (e.g. pointwise, uniform, convergence in distribution, etc.) which of them can describe convergence of a sequence of functions that have different domains? For example, let ##F_n(x)## be defined by ##F_n(x) = 1 + h## where ##h...

Hey! 😊 Between the following two topics: Elementary Geometry Fibonacci and its sequences which would you suggest for a presentation? Could you give me also some ideas what could we the structure of each topic? :unsure:

The number sequence is as follows: 3x+5y; 5x; 7x-5y; 9x-10y... I need to formulate a general term - Tn=T1+d(n-1) In the above sequence I have no idea what. I also think this sequence is non linear. Please help with a solution Thanks

I need help only in section 3 I have some kind of solution but I'm not sure because it seems too short and too simple. We showed in section 1 that an> 0 per n. Given that an + 1 <0 and an + 1 = an / a1 therefore a1 <0 is warranted

If n is ∞, then ln (n) = ln (∞) = ∞ Then, 1/∞ = 0 Any number raised to "0" = 1, so the answer should be 1. However the book says the answer is e2. Could you provide me some help?

I know that human genome sequencing was done by 2001. Inintially there were Maxam-Gilberth technique, then Sanger's technique and then finally NGS techniques have made sequening faster and efficient. My question is, though we are able to sequence the whole genome, how have scientists arrived at...

I understand that when a sequence is described recursively, for example: ##a_1=2, a_{n+1} = \sqrt{3a_n}## then we mean that the first term is 2, the second term is ##\sqrt{3*2} = \sqrt{6}##, the third term is ##\sqrt{3*\sqrt{6}}##, and so on. What I do not understand is how to interpret the...
