In Exercises 125–134, determine whether the sequence is monotonic, whether it is bounded, and whether it converges.
aₙ = (4ⁿ⁺¹ + 3ⁿ) / 4ⁿ

Rewrite the given sequence \(a_n = \frac{4^{n+1} + 3^n}{4^n}\) by separating the terms in the numerator over the denominator: \(a_n = \frac{4^{n+1}}{4^n} + \frac{3^n}{4^n}\).
Simplify each term using the properties of exponents: \(\frac{4^{n+1}}{4^n} = 4^{(n+1)-n} = 4^1 = 4\), and \(\frac{3^n}{4^n} = \left(\frac{3}{4}\right)^n\).
Express the sequence in a simpler form: \(a_n = 4 + \left(\frac{3}{4}\right)^n\).
Analyze monotonicity by considering the term \(\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)^n\). Since \(\frac{3}{4} < 1\), this term decreases as \(n\) increases, so \(a_n\) is a decreasing sequence.
Determine boundedness and convergence: since \(\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)^n\) is always positive and approaches 0 as \(n \to \infty\), the sequence is bounded below by 4 and converges to 4.

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

Monotonic Sequences

A sequence is monotonic if it is either entirely non-increasing or non-decreasing. To determine monotonicity, compare consecutive terms or analyze the general term's behavior as n increases. Monotonic sequences simplify convergence analysis since they move consistently in one direction.

Bounded Sequences

A sequence is bounded if all its terms lie within some fixed interval, meaning there exist real numbers M and m such that m ≤ aₙ ≤ M for all n. Boundedness is important because it restricts the sequence's values and is a key condition for convergence in monotonic sequences.

Convergence of Sequences

A sequence converges if its terms approach a specific finite limit as n approaches infinity. To find the limit, simplify the general term and analyze dominant terms. Convergence indicates the sequence settles to a fixed value, which is crucial for understanding long-term behavior.
