Answer:
a) 3, 6, 9, 12, 15,...,, b) 4, 7, 10, 13, 16,...,
, c) Both sequences are arithmetic.
Step-by-step explanation:
a) The sequence of natural numbers which are multiplied by 3 are represented by the function ,
. Let see the first five elements of the sequence: 3, 6, 9, 12, 15,...
b) The sequence of natural numbers which are multiplied by 3 and added to 1 is represented by the function ,
. Let see the first five elements of the sequence: 4, 7, 10, 13, 16,...
c) Both sequences since differences between consecutive elements is constant. Let prove this statement:
(i)
(ii)
Both sequences are arithmetic.
Answer:
A. As "a"⇒e, the function f(x)=aˣ tends to be its derivative.
Step-by-step explanation:
A. To show the stretched relation between the fact that "a"⇒e and the derivatives of the function, let´s differentiate f(x) without a value for "a" (leaving it as a constant):
The process will help us to understand what is happening, at first we rewrite the function:
And then, we use the chain rule to differentiate:
Notice the only difference between f(x) and its derivative is the new factor ln(a). But we know that ln(e)=1, this tell us that as "a"⇒e, ln(a)⇒1 (because ln(x) is a continuous function in (0,∞) ) and as a consequence f'(x)⇒f(x).
In the graph that is attached it´s shown that the functions follows this inequality (the segmented lines are the derivatives):
if a<e<b, then aˣln(a) < aˣ < eˣ < bˣ < bˣln(b) (and below we explain why this happen)
Considering that ln(a) is a growing function and ln(e)=1, we have:
if a<e<b, then ln(a)< 1 <ln(b)
if a<e, then aˣln(a)<aˣ
if e<b, then bˣ<bˣln(b)
And because eˣ is defined to be the same as its derivative, the cases above results in the following
if a<e<b, then aˣ < eˣ < bˣ (because this function is also a growing function as "a" and "b" gets closer to e)
if a<e, then aˣln(a)<aˣ<eˣ ( f'(x)<f(x) )
if e<b, then eˣ<bˣ<bˣln(b) ( f(x)<f'(x) )
but as "a"⇒e, the difference between f(x) and f'(x) begin to decrease until it gets zero (when a=e)
