Solution
The first step in solving 8.1 problem number 107 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Comparing Exponential and Faetorial (irowtit Consiilei the sequence (( = l(l"/!.(a) Find two consecutive terms that are e(.|ual in magnitude.(b) Are the terms following those found in part (a) increasingor decreasing?(c) In Section 7.7, E.xercises 63-68, it was shown that for"large" values of the independent variable an exponentialfunction increases more rapidly than a polynomial function. From the resiili m |iarl (b), what inference can youmake about (he rate of grow th of an exponential functionversus a factorial function for "large" integer values of ?
From the textbook chapter Sequences you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
