SUMMARY

The limit of the sequence defined by the expression 3^n/(3^n + 2^n) as n approaches infinity is evaluated by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 3^n. This simplification leads to the expression 1/(1 + (2/3)^n), which approaches 1 as n approaches infinity. Therefore, the limit is conclusively 1.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of limits in calculus
  • Familiarity with exponential functions
  • Knowledge of L'Hôpital's Rule
  • Basic algebraic manipulation skills
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the application of L'Hôpital's Rule in limit evaluation
  • Explore properties of exponential functions and their limits
  • Learn about sequences and series in calculus
  • Investigate alternative methods for evaluating limits, such as the epsilon-delta definition
USEFUL FOR

Students of calculus, mathematics educators, and anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of limits and exponential functions.

How do I evaluate

lim n->inf 3^n/(3^n + 2^n)

l hospitals rule (or however you spell his last name lol) doesn't work and so I have a hard time proving that it equals one. Thanks for any help anyone can provide.

Divide numerator and denominator by 3^n to begin with. Then tell me what you think.
 
ah thanks it's been a while <_<
