Prove Theorem 7.25. That is, show that the series either both converge or both diverge. In addition, show that if converges to L, thenconverges tolocalid="1652718360109"
Leila finds that there are more factors affecting the number of salmon that return to Redfish Lake than the dams: There are good years and bad years. These happen at random, but they are more or less cyclical, so she models the number of fish returning each year as , where h is the number of fish whose spawn she releases from the hatchery annually.
(a) Show that the sustained number of fish returning in even-numbered years approach approximately
(Hint: Make a new recurrence by using two steps of the one given.)
(b) Show that the sustained number of fish returning in odd-numbered years approaches approximately
(c) How should Leila choose h, the number of hatchery fish to breed in order to hold the minimum number of fish returning in each run near some constant P?
Use the divergence test to analyze the given series. Each answer should either be the series diverges or the divergence test fails, along with the reason for your answer.
Express each of the repeating decimals in Exercises 71–78 as a geometric series and as the quotient of two integers reduced to lowest terms.
Determine whether the series converges or diverges. Give the sum of the convergent series.
