Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around understanding limits in calculus, specifically addressing four questions posed by the original poster. They express uncertainty about their attempts and seek guidance on how to approach the remaining questions.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Assumption checking, Problem interpretation

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants discuss the rationalization of the numerator as a potential approach for one of the problems. There is also mention of a hint involving inequalities that some suggest proving by induction. The original poster questions whether a specific limit approaches infinity.

Discussion Status

The discussion is ongoing, with some participants providing helpful insights and methods for approaching the problems. There is a mix of interpretations and attempts to clarify the original poster's understanding, but no consensus has been reached yet.

Contextual Notes

The original poster has scanned their questions for reference and explicitly states they are not seeking direct answers but rather guidance to help them understand the concepts better.

Limits - Please Help!

I have been set 4 questions, i basically have no idea if the ones i have tried are correct and have no idea how to even start the other 2. Any help would be much appreciated. I have scanned them in (easier than typing i think).

Thanks

b)use the rationalization of the numerator.
n \left( { \sqrt{1+n^{2}}-n } \right) = \frac{n \left( { 1+n^{2}-n^{2} } \right)}{\sqrt{1+n^{2}}+n}
c)watch the given hint carefully!
\left( { \frac{3}{2} } \right)^{2n} < \left( { \frac{2n+1}{n+1} } \right)^{2n}
you'd better prove the given hint by the induction...

I think the other answers are right in the way you solved.
 
thats great, youv been really helpfull, one thing though.. does that mean c) lim xn tends to infinity?
