Check convergence of the sequence

57 Views Asked by At

I want to check as for the convergence the sequence $(a^n b^{n^2})$ for all the possible values that $a,b$ take.

I have thought the following:

We have that $\lim_{n \to +\infty} a^n=+\infty$ if $a>1$, $\lim_{n \to +\infty} a^n=0$ if $-1<a<1$, right?

What happens for $a<-1$ ?

For the $b$-term, we have the same as above. So we have to check all the possible combinations, right? How can we check the convergence of $(a^n b^{n^2})$ when we get an undefined form?

The product $a^nb^{n^2}$ can be rewritten as $(ab^n)^n$. Therefore, it suffices to discuss the value of $(ab^n)$.

First, we consider the sign of $ a$ and $b $.

(1) If $ab>0$, then $a^nb^{n^2}$ = $|a|^n|b|^{n^2}$.

(2) If $ab<0$, then the sign of $a^nb^{n^2}$ changes when $n$ increases by $1$.

$\qquad$Then $a^nb^{n^2}$ converges only when $|a|^n|b|^{n^2}\to 0$ .

Second, we may assume that $a>0,\ b>0$.

(1) When $b > 1$, $ab^n \to +\infty$, $(ab^n)^n\to +\infty$.

(2) When $b < 1$, $ab^n \to 0$, $(ab^n)^n\to 0$.

(3) When $b = 1$, $(ab^n)=a$, the convergenge of $(ab^n)^n$ equals the convergence of $a^n$.
