검증된 단계별 안내

Identify the given sequence: \(a_n = (-1)^n \frac{3n^3 + 4n}{6n^3 + 5}\).

Observe that the sequence has a factor \((-1)^n\) which causes the terms to alternate in sign depending on whether \(n\) is even or odd.

Focus on the rational expression \(\frac{3n^3 + 4n}{6n^3 + 5}\). To analyze its behavior as \(n \to \infty\), divide numerator and denominator by \(n^3\), the highest power of \(n\) in the expression.

After dividing, rewrite the expression as \(\frac{3 + \frac{4}{n^2}}{6 + \frac{5}{n^3}}\). As \(n\) approaches infinity, the terms with \(\frac{1}{n^k}\) approach zero, simplifying the expression to \(\frac{3}{6} = \frac{1}{2}\).

Combine this limit with the alternating factor \((-1)^n\). Since \((-1)^n\) oscillates between \(1\) and \(-1\), the sequence does not approach a single value but oscillates between \(\frac{1}{2}\) and \(-\frac{1}{2}\). Therefore, the limit of the sequence does not exist.

질문에 올바르게 답하기 위해 반드시 이해해야 하는 핵심 개념들은 다음과 같습니다.

Limits of Sequences

The limit of a sequence is the value that the terms of the sequence approach as the index n goes to infinity. If the terms get arbitrarily close to a specific number, the sequence converges to that limit; otherwise, it diverges.

Behavior of Polynomial Expressions at Infinity

When evaluating limits involving polynomials as n approaches infinity, the highest degree terms dominate the behavior. Lower degree terms become insignificant, so the limit can often be found by comparing the leading coefficients of the highest degree terms.

Alternating Sequences

An alternating sequence changes sign with each term, often involving factors like (-1)^n. Such sequences may oscillate and not have a limit unless the magnitude of terms approaches zero, causing the sequence to converge to zero.
