Question

Transcribed Image Text:**Exercise: Determine Divergence of Sequences**
1. For each of the following sequences, show that it is divergent:
a) \( a_n = 2n \)
b) \( d_n = (1 - n)^2 \)
### Explanation:
For sequence (a), \( a_n = 2n \) – it is a linear sequence that increases indefinitely as \( n \) increases.
For sequence (b), \( d_n = (1 - n)^2 \) – it represents a quadratic sequence that grows indefinitely as \( n \) increases, since subtracting a larger number and squaring results in an increasingly large positive number.
Both sequences do not converge to a finite limit.
