      Bprp, I really want to show you how I had come across that 0/0=0. I have a very in depth set of ideas that I would love to be able to show pertaining to infinity, 0+, 0-, and ÷0. There is also a part about how i is similar in cases and what my opinions are on 0^0. I am 17 years old and love math, and I would love to share what I have calculated in my free time. This work is all mine and I have not seen anything like it on the internet or RUclips. If you do put some of my work in a video for division by 0, please reference me or ask me about it!

    I wish I could remember my Calc III final (from about 1989). There was a question worth about a zillion marks: "Prove such and such." I was about half-way through when I realized I was going in the wrong direction, so I started over. Eventually I got stuck. Now I had two solutions in the form of equations. I substituted one into the other, turned the crank, and got 0. That couldn't be an accident, so I wrote QED and went to the next question.
    I ended up with a decent grade in the course. I never got the review the graded exam, but I must have done something right.

    I took my BC test during the 3rd administration, and boy, the last FRQ was actually pain. I think I just had 8 minutes for this problem alone because it was so hard to type and explain my work, not to mention the question was pretty difficult as well. Pretty much everyone in my class hated the 2 BC FRQs, while AB ones were a walk in the park.

    On part b when you said you wanted the ratio to be greater than 0, I think you just meant it needed to be a finite number. Since you put a known convergent series in the denominator, you could actually have gotten zero for the ratio and the series in the numerator would still converge. You really don’t need to worry about it being positive since you took absolute value at the beginning (and it was already known that 1/e^n was positive).
    On the two infinite limits, I don’t think AP minds if you use ‘dominating terms’ or similar reasoning to get to the answer instead of going through L’Hospital’s Rule.
    This was a fun problem! I also like how you took 14 minutes to record it, almost perfect pace. :)

  • @tiduseleven
    @tiduseleven 3 года назад +3

    At 6:00 a way we saw at our school to solve such fractions is to factor out the term that grows the most (here e^n). You would then get lim n->\inf \frac{e^n}{e^n(2+3/e^n)}. Then, both e^n cancel each other and you're left with \frac{1}{2+3*e^-n}, which converges to 1/2. This seems to be a somewhat formal way to explain the fact that the 3 doesn't matter

    • @stephenbeck7222
      @stephenbeck7222 3 года назад +2

      Yes, you can do that, though it doesn’t simplify all problems. Since this is a series problem, you would have already learned L’Hospital’s rule, so I would just use that or just do it the way BPRP does it.

    regarding b):
    first off, you dont even need the limit comparison test. it is obvious that 2e^n+3 > e^n for all n, which means (e^n+3)^-1 < (e^n)^-1 for all n, which immediately implies that the series converges.
    secondly, why cant you use the LCT if the limit is 0? if lim a_n/b_n = 0, that means that a_n

    Hey BPRP, your videos are always so useful and entertaining. I do want to ask one question. Whats the difference between a maclaurin series and a taylor series. My math paper gives us maclaurin series for e^x sinx cosx and ln(1+x), but they are the same as the taylor series that I saw in your videos. Are they the same with just a different name, or is there some difference?

    For part b, you could just do a normal comparison test with 1/(2e^n), and since this converges, we get that the desired summation also converges (it is always smaller)
    Edit: I realized that the question asked to use LCT, oops.
