(a) Compute the (approximate) values of the terms in thesequence1.01101, 1.0011001

Chapter 1, Problem 67

(choose chapter or problem)

(a) Compute the (approximate) values of the terms in the sequence

\(1.01^{101}, 1.001^{1001}, 1.0001^{10001}, 1.00001^{100001}\)

\(1.000001^{1000001}, 1.0000001^{10000001} \ldots\)

What number do these terms appear to be approaching?


(b) Use Equation (7) to verify your answer in part (a).

(c) Let \(1 \leq a \leq 9\) denote a positive integer. What number is approached more and more closely by the terms in the following sequence?

\(1.01^{a 0 a}, 1.001^{a 00 a}, 1.0001^{a 000 a}, 1.00001^{a 0000 a}\)

\(1.000001^{a 00000 a}, 1.0000001^{a 000000 a} \ldots\)

(The powers are positive integers that begin and end with the digit a and have 0 's in the remaining positions).
