A sequence (bn)neN is called strictly increasing if b, < bn+1 for all n € No. Such a strictly increasing sequence is divergent if, for any threshold M E R, we can find an index k such that bk > M. We can represent a sequence (bn) by a Python function that takes n as its argument (of type int) and returns bn (of type float). Write a function threshold_index that takes two arguments: The first one is a Python function representing a strictly increasing, divergent sequence. The second one is a threshold value M. The function threshold_index should return the smallest index n for which the sequence passes the threshold (i.e., bn ≥ M).

A sequence (bn)neN is called strictly increasing if b, < bn+1 for all n € No. Such a strictly increasing sequence is divergent if, for any threshold M E R, we can find
an index k such that bk > M.
We can represent a sequence (bn) by a Python function that takes n as its argument (of type int) and returns bn (of type float).
Write a function threshold_index that takes two arguments: The first one is a Python function representing a strictly increasing, divergent sequence. The second one
is a threshold value M. The function threshold_index should return the smallest index n for which the sequence passes the threshold (i.e., bn ≥ M).
