QUESTION 6
Which sequence of h-values is suitable for estimating h→0limhah−1? (A)−4,−2,−1,−0.5,−0.25,−0.125,… (B)−0.125,−0.25,−0.5,−1,−2,−4,… (C)2,1,0,−1,−2,… (D)1,2,3,4,… WORKED SOLUTION
Answer A
1 markANSWERA — −4,−2,−1,−0.5,−0.25,−0.125,… Worked solution
To estimate a limit as h→0, the values must approach 0; only sequence A does so. Worked explanation by QCE Vault; correct option verified against the QCAA answer key.
