Determine whether the sequence is monotonic or eventually monotonic and whether the sequence is bounded above and/or below. If the sequence converges, give the limit.

1⋅3⋅5⋯(2k−1)10k

Short Answer

Expert verified

Ans: The sequence1⋅3⋅5⋯(2k−1)10kis not convergent.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given information.

given,

1⋅3⋅5⋯(2k−1)10k

02

Step 2. The objective is to determine whether the sequence is monotonic, bounded above, or bounded below, and to find the limit of the sequence if the sequence is convergent.   

The sequence {ak}=1⋅3⋅5⋯(2k−1)10kthe general term isak=1⋅3⋅5⋯(2k−1)10k

03

Step 3.  The general term of the sequence is ak=1⋅3⋅5⋯(2k−1)10k 

The ratio ak+1akgives

ak+1ak=1⋅3⋅5⋯(2k−1)(2k+1)10k+11⋅3⋅5⋯(2k−1)10k(Substitution)=1⋅3⋅5⋯(2k−1)(2k+1)10k+1⋅10k1⋅3⋅5⋯(2k−1)=2k+110(Simplify)>1(Fork>4)

Thus ak+1>akwhen the value of k>4.

The sequence {ak}=1⋅3⋅5⋯(2k−1)10kis eventually strictly increasing. The given sequence is monotonic.

04

Step 4. Now,

The sequence {ak}=1⋅3⋅5⋯(2k−1)10kis bounded below because

0<akfor k>1

As the index k increases, the term role="math" localid="1649264167687" {ak}=1⋅3⋅5⋯(2k−1)10kincreases.

Thus the increasing sequence has no upper bound.

The given sequence has a lower bound, Therefore, the sequence is bounded below.

05

Step 5. The monotonic increasing sequence is bounded above is convergent 

The eventually strictly increasing sequence {ak}=1⋅3⋅5⋯(2k−1)10kis not bounded above and hence is not convergent. therefore the sequence is not convergent.

Leila, in her capacity as a population biologist in Idaho, is trying to figure out how many salmon a local hatchery should release annually in order to revitalize the fishery. She knows that ifpksalmon spawn in Redfish Lake in a given year, then only 0.2pkfish will return to the lake from the offspring of that run, because of all the dams on the rivers between the sea and the lake. Thus, if she adds the spawn from h fish, from a hatchery, then the number of fish that return from that run k will be pk+1=0.2(pk+h)..

(a) Show that the sustained number of fish returning approaches p∞=h∑k+1∞0.2kas k→∞.

(b) Evaluate p∞.

(c) How should Leila choose h, the number of hatchery fish to raise in order to hold the number of fish returning in each run at some constant P?

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 qkreturning each year as qk+1=(0.14(−1)k+0.36)(qk+h), 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 qe=3h∑k=1∞0.11k.

(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 qo=6111h∑k=1∞0.11k.

(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?
