The limit of a sequence if it converges.
Answer to Problem 38E
The sequence
Explanation of Solution
Given Information: The sequence is defined as
Concept Used: A sequence converges if and only if the limit is finite and single valued.
Each term of the sequence is equal to its preceding term multiplied by
It means, each term of the sequence is less than the preceding term.
Now, if for a large
But, for the sequence to converge, when
Therefore, the given sequence converges to the limit
