1. For the sequence an = 7n2+1, n = 1, 2, 3, 4, . . . (10pts)
a) does the sequence converge or diverge? Why?
If it converges, what exactly does it converge to?
6n2 6 6
lim 2 = ∴ Seq. converges to .
n→∞ 7n + 1 7 7

b) is it monotonic? Use calculus to show why.

6x 2 [12x](7x 2 + 1) − 6x 2 [14x] 12x
f(x) = 2 ; f ′ (x) = = > 0 for x ≥ 1
7x + 1 (7x 2 + 1)2 (7x 2 + 1)2
∴ Seq. is monotonic

2. By hand, find the exact sum of the following series. Show formula or work. (10pts)
If it is divergent, say so and state why.
