Answer: C) 2

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Work Shown:

Let x be some integer from the set {..., -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, ...}.
The multiplicative inverse of x is a number y such that x*y = 1.

Since we want x and y to be the same, this means y = x

Use substitution to go from 
x*y = 1
to 
x*x = 1
Basically I've replaced y with x

Now solve for x
x*x = 1
x^2 = 1
x = +-sqrt(1)
x = 1 or x = -1

There are 2 values of x where they are their own multiplicative inverse
1*1 = 1
(-1)*(-1) = 1

Consider the following series. 1 9 1 18 1 27 1 36 1 45 Determine whether the series is convergent or divergent. Justify your ans
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

<em>Diverges; the limit of the terms, an, is not 0 as n goes to infinity</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Convergence of Infinite Series</u>

The series is given as the terms

1 , 9 , 1 , 18 , 27 , 1 , 36 , 1 , 45 ...

For a series to be convergent, the limit of the general term an when n goes to infinity must be 0. In such cases, the sum of all terms tends to a fixed value.

Our series has two clearly different sequences, which define it as a piecewise general term:

If n is odd, then

a_n=1

Otherwise, an is an arithmetic series starting from 9 with a common difference of 9, that is

a_n=9+9(n/2-1)=4.5n

if n is even.

If we take the limit as n goes to infinity, we don't know which one should be selected, thus we must assume that any of them is a correct option, therefore both of them should converge.

The limit of the function

a_n=1

is 1 when n goes to infinity. Since it's not 0, this piece is not convergent and the entire series isn't either.

But it goes worse because of the limit of the second piece

a_n=4.5n

when n goes to infinity is infinite.

The answer is

<em>Diverges; the limit of the terms, an, is not 0 as n goes to infinity</em>
