The user wants to evaluate the limit of an integral: [ L = \lim_{n\to\infty} \int_{0}^{n} \left(1+\frac{205}{69n}x\right)^{-69n} e^{-\frac{6}{7}x},dx ] The integrand converges pointwise to . Assuming the limit of the integral is the integral of the limit (Dominated Convergence Theorem applies here as the integrand is dominated by integrable functions for large ), the result should be: [ \int_{0}^{\infty} e^{-(205 + \frac{6}{7})x} , dx = \frac{1}{205 + \frac{6}{7}} = \frac{1}{\frac{1435+6}{7}} = \frac{7}{1441} ] Thus and . I need to verify if and are relatively prime and then calculate . . Since 7 is prime and does not divide 1441 (1441 = 7*205 + 6), they are coprime. The final calculation is .
I will use Python to:
- Numerically estimate the integral for a large value of to confirm the convergence to .
- Check the primality/factors of 1441 to ensure are coprime.
- Calculate .
[PYTHON] import numpy as np from scipy.integrate import quad
def integrand(x, n): # (1 + 205/(69n) * x)**(-69n) * exp(-6/7 * x) # To avoid overflow/underflow with large powers, use log-exp # log_term = -69n * log(1 + 205x/(69*n)) # term = exp(log_term - 6/7 * x) base = 1 + 205 * x / (69 * n) if base <= 0: return 0 # Should not happen in [0, n] val = base**(-69 * n) * np.exp(-6/7 * x) return val
def limit_integral_approx(n): res, err = quad(integrand, 0, n, args=(n,)) return res
Calculate for a few increasing n
n_values = [100, 1000, 10000] results = [] for n in n_values: results.append(limit_integral_approx(n))
Theoretical limit
p = 7 q = 1441 theoretical = p / q
print(f"Approximations: {results}") print(f"Theoretical: {theoretical}")
Check GCD
import math gcd_val = math.gcd(p, q) print(f"GCD({p}, {q}) = {gcd_val}")
Final Answer
ans = p**2 * q print(f"p^2 * q = {ans}") [/PYTHON]
The limit is given by [ L = \lim_{n\to\infty} \int_{0}^{n} \left(1+\frac{205}{69n}x\right)^{-69n} e^{-\frac{6}{7}x},dx. ] Let . First, we find the pointwise limit of the integrand as . Recall that . We can rewrite the first factor as: [ \left(1+\frac{205}{69n}x\right)^{-69n} = \left[ \left(1+\frac{\frac{205}{69}x}{n}\right)^n \right]^{-69}. ] As , the term inside the square brackets approaches . Thus, the first factor approaches . The second factor is . So the integrand converges pointwise to .
Since the sequence of functions is dominated by the integrable function (because increases to , so its reciprocal decreases to ), we can apply the Dominated Convergence Theorem: [ L = \int_{0}^{\infty} e^{-\left(205 + \frac{6}{7}\right)x},dx. ] Evaluating the integral: [ L = \frac{1}{205 + \frac{6}{7}} = \frac{1}{\frac{1435 + 6}{7}} = \frac{7}{1441}. ] Thus, with and . We check if and are relatively prime. . Since 7 is prime and not equal to 11 or 131, . We need to find : [ p^2 q = 7^2 \times 1441 = 49 \times 1441. ] Calculation: .
\boxed{70609}
