Example 2

Draw a graph of

a

on the vertical axis and

n

on the horizontal axis, and with the points unconnected.

Use the same View Window parameters as those provided in Exam-

Drawing a Convergence/Divergence Graph (WEB graph)

With this feature, you can draw a graph of

a

n

+1

=

f

(

a

n

) where

a

n

+1

and

a

n

are the terms

of linear recursion between two terms, substituted respectively for

y

and

x

in the

function

y

=

f

(

x

). The resulting graph can then be viewed to determine whether or not

the graph is convergent or divergent.

Example 1

To determine whether or not the recursion formula

a

n

+1

= –3

a

n

2

+

a

n

is convergent or divergent.

Use the following table range.

Start = 0

Str = 0.11

Use the following View Window parameters.

Xmin

Ymin

= 0

Xmax = 1

Ymax = 1

Xscale = 1

Yscale = 1
