Answer:

No, the area of the dilated triangle will increase by a factor of 9

Step-by-step explanation:

When the scale factor by which the dimensions is dilated = 3, we have;

The original length of base = b

The base length of the dilated triangle = 3×b

The original height of the the triangle = h

The height of the dilated triangle = 3×h

The original area of the triangle = 1/2 × base × height = 1/2×b×h

The area of the dilated triangle = 1/2 × base of dilated triangle × height of dilated triangle

∴ The area of the dilated triangle = 1/2× 3 × b × 3× h = 9×1/2× b×h

Which gives;

The area of the dilated triangle = 3²×1/2× b×h= (Scale factor)²× The original area of the triangle.

From 3² = 9, we have;

The area of the dilated triangle = 9 × The original area of the triangle.

Therefore;

The area of the dilated triangle will increase by a factor of 9.

Lim (n/3n-1)^(n-1) n → ∞

n200080 [17]

Looks like the given limit is

$\displaystyle \lim_{n\to\infty} \left(\frac n{3n-1}\right)^{n-1}$

With some simple algebra, we can rewrite

$\dfrac n{3n-1} = \dfrac13 \cdot \dfrac n{n-9} = \dfrac13 \cdot \dfrac{(n-9)+9}{n-9} = \dfrac13 \cdot \left(1 + \dfrac9{n-9}\right)$

then distribute the limit over the product,

$\displaystyle \lim_{n\to\infty} \left(\frac n{3n-1}\right)^{n-1} = \lim_{n\to\infty}\left(\dfrac13\right)^{n-1} \cdot \lim_{n\to\infty}\left(1+\dfrac9{n-9}\right)^{n-1}$

The first limit is 0, since 1/3ⁿ is a positive, decreasing sequence. But before claiming the overall limit is also 0, we need to show that the second limit is also finite.

For the second limit, recall the definition of the constant, e :

$\displaystyle e = \lim_{n\to\infty} \left(1+\frac1n\right)^n$

To make our limit resemble this one more closely, make a substitution; replace 9/(n - 9) with 1/m, so that

$\dfrac{9}{n-9} = \dfrac1m \implies 9m = n-9 \implies 9m+8 = n-1$

From the relation 9m = n - 9, we see that m also approaches infinity as n approaches infinity. So, the second limit is rewritten as

$\displaystyle\lim_{n\to\infty}\left(1+\dfrac9{n-9}\right)^{n-1} = \lim_{m\to\infty}\left(1+\dfrac1m\right)^{9m+8}$

Now we apply some more properties of multiplication and limits:

$\displaystyle \lim_{m\to\infty}\left(1+\dfrac1m\right)^{9m+8} = \lim_{m\to\infty}\left(1+\dfrac1m\right)^{9m} \cdot \lim_{m\to\infty}\left(1+\dfrac1m\right)^8 \\\\ = \lim_{m\to\infty}\left(\left(1+\dfrac1m\right)^m\right)^9 \cdot \left(\lim_{m\to\infty}\left(1+\dfrac1m\right)\right)^8 \\\\ = \left(\lim_{m\to\infty}\left(1+\dfrac1m\right)^m\right)^9 \cdot \left(\lim_{m\to\infty}\left(1+\dfrac1m\right)\right)^8 \\\\ = e^9 \cdot 1^8 = e^9$

So, the overall limit is indeed 0:

$\displaystyle \lim_{n\to\infty} \left(\frac n{3n-1}\right)^{n-1} = \underbrace{\lim_{n\to\infty}\left(\dfrac13\right)^{n-1}}_0 \cdot \underbrace{\lim_{n\to\infty}\left(1+\dfrac9{n-9}\right)^{n-1}}_{e^9} = \boxed{0}$
