    Converging sequence

    I would like help on the following problem: Suppose {a_n} is a sequence that satisfies the condition lim n-> oo (a_n+1 - a_n)=0. Prove that the sequence {a_n / n} converges to 0.

    Fibonacci sequence

    The problem is Take any of the generalizations about the Fibonacci Numbers that we have considered, and investigate what happens if the sequence is formed by two different starting numbers but continues in the same way by adding successive pairs of terms. For example, you might form a new pseudo-Fibonacci sequence in this w

    Splitting Fields : Find the splitting fields over Q for x^3+3x^2+3x-4.

    Find the splitting fields over Q for x^3+3x^2+3x-4. Recall a splitting field is as follows: Let K be a field and let f(x)=a_0+a_1*x+...+a_n*x^n be a polynomial in K[x] of degree n>0. An extension field F of K is called a splitting field for f(x) over K if there exist elements r_1,r_2,...,r_n elements of F such that (i) f(x

    Rectangular Kitchen Measured Cost

    1st one: A family has a rectangular kitchen which measures 12 by 18 feet. They want to put diagonal heating coils in the floor of the room. How much will it cost them to put in the coils if they cost $25 foot? 12 x18 =216= Area 216x25= 5400 but since they want to put diagonals would I take half of this? 2nd one: A wi
