Answer to Problem 46E
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The given sequence model is
Calculation:
Yes, the sequence approaches towards zero when the value of
e.
To find out whether realistically the students will reach this limit.
e.
Answer to Problem 46E
No.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The given sequence model is
Calculation:
NO. Realistically, the student computer ratio will never reach this limit.
Because when each student have separate computer the ratio will become 1:1.
