A glimpse ahead to power series Use the Ratio Test to determine the values of \(x \geq 0\) for which each series converges. $$\sum_{k=1}^{\infty} \frac{x^{k}}{2^{k}}$$
The CORDIC (COordinate Rotation DIgital Calculation) algorithm is used by most calculators to evaluate trigonometric and logarithmic functions. An important number in the CORDIC algorithm, called the aggregate constant, is \(\prod_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{2^{n}}{\sqrt{1+2^{2 n}}},\) where \(\prod_{n=0}^{N} a_{n}\) represents the product \(a_{0} \cdot a_{1} \cdots a_{N}\). This infinite product is the limit of the sequence $$\left\\{\prod_{n=0}^{0} \frac{2^{n}}{\sqrt{1+2^{2 n}}} \cdot \prod_{n=0}^{1} \frac{2^{n}}{\sqrt{1+2^{2 n}}}, \prod_{n=0}^{2} \frac{2^{n}}{\sqrt{1+2^{2 n}}} \ldots .\right\\}.$$ Estimate the value of the aggregate constant.
Reciprocals of odd squares Assume that \(\sum_{k=1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{k^{2}}=\frac{\pi^{2}}{6}\)
Find a series that a. converges faster than \(\sum \frac{1}{k^{2}}\) but slower than \(\sum \frac{1}{k^{3}}\) b. diverges faster than \(\sum \frac{1}{k}\) but slower than \(\sum \frac{1}{\sqrt{k}}\) c. converges faster than \(\sum \frac{1}{k \ln ^{2} k}\) but slower than \(\sum \frac{1}{k^{2}}\)
Evaluate the limit of the following sequences. $$a_{n}=\frac{4^{n}+5 n !}{n !+2^{n}}$$
