## anonymous one year ago CAN SOMEONE CHECK MY ANSWER? Determine whether the sequence converges or diverges. If it converges, give the limit. 60, -10, five divided by three, negative five divided by eighteen, ... I got: Diverges Here are my choices: Diverges Converges; 11100 Converges; 72 Converges; 0

1. anonymous

hard to read but it looks like they go to zero

2. anonymous

$60,-10,\frac{5}{3},-\frac{5}{18}...$right?

3. anonymous

is it clear what you are doing to one number in the sequence to get the next number?

4. anonymous

Correct @satellite73

5. anonymous

Dividing by -6

6. anonymous

yup

7. anonymous

and if you keep dividing by -6, what happens ?

8. anonymous

The numbers get smaller

9. anonymous

Eventually to 0?

10. anonymous

like for example $\frac{5}{(-6)^{20}}$

11. anonymous

yeah goes to zero (lickety split i might add)

12. anonymous

Oh, wow you made it seem very simple. Thank you very much for your time!

13. anonymous

lol you are welcome, it is rather simple, once you know what you are doing

14. anonymous

unlike for example the question @Loser66 answered earlier

15. anonymous

which was very simple once you knew the answer, but not so simple beforehand
