promath A divergent sequence is a sequence having limit either infinite (that is, does not converge to a specific finite limit). For example, the sequence {n} has infinite limit, hence a divergent sequence. Here we learn the definition and examples of divergent sequence. Divergent Sequence Definition A sequence {xn} is said be divergent if its limit … Read more
A convergent sequence is a sequence having finite limit. For example, {1/n} is a convergent sequence with limit 0. Here, we study the definition and examples of convergent sequence. Convergent Sequence Definition A sequence {xn} is said be convergent if it has a finite limit L. That is, for every ε>0, there is a natural … Read more
An unbounded sequence is a sequence which is not bounded. For example the sequence {n} of natural numbers is unbounded. In this article, we study unbounded sequences with its definition and examples. Unbounded Sequence Definition A sequence {an} is said to be unbounded if there is no real number M such that |an| ≤ M. … Read more
No, a continuous function is not always differentiable. For example, f(x)=|x| is continuous but not differentiable at x=0. In this post, we will study the following: is a continuous function always differentiable? A continuous function may not be differentiable always. Although, a differentiable function is always continuous. Lets prove this fact here. Recall the definitions … Read more
The formula of 1-cos2x is given by 1-cos2x=2sin2x. In this post, we establish 1-cos2x formula and identity with some solved examples. Formula of 1-cos2x Answer: The 1-cos2x formula is 1-cos2x=2sin2x. Proof: Using the formula cos2θ= cos2θ -sin2θ, the given expression can be written as follows. 1-cos2x = 1- (cos2x -sin2x) = (1- cos2x) -sin2x = … Read more
In this article, we prove that a convergent sequence is bounded. A sequence is said to be convergent if it has finite limit. Question: Prove that A Convergent Sequence is Bounded. Proof Let us assume that {xn} is a convergent sequence. So it has finite limit, say L. That is, limn→∞ xn = L. So … Read more
A sequence {xn} is called a bounded sequence if k ≤ xn ≤ K for all natural numbers n. For example, {1/n} is a bounded sequence since 0 < 1/n ≤ 1 for all n. Let us now learn about bounded sequence. Bounded Sequence Definition A sequence {xn} is said to be bounded if k … Read more
