Q: Finding Increase/Decrease Intervals

user296228Let's take the function f(x) = x^2 / (x-1), with f(x)' = x(x-2) / (x-1)^2 as its derivative. Since x = 1 is not in the domain of f(x) and f(1)' does not exist, do we use x = 1 as a critical number when we divide the line into intervals? Or do we just use x = 0, 2? Similarly, for g(x) = [ (2-x)(...

Q: Proving that a sequence converges (1)

Adam V.I need to prove that the following sequence (1+(1/n^2))^n converges towards 1. I tried to use the Bernoulli inqeuality, however, that is not very useful since in the original sequence is a plus sign. I then tried to use the Sandwich Theorem by finding two sequences which would make bounds for the...
