I found the following convergent sequence for the natural logarithm online: [tex]\lim_{a\rightarrow\infty}a x^{1/a}-a=\ln(x)[/tex] Does anybody know where this sequence first appeared, or if it has a name?
The sequence that converges to ln(x) is called the natural logarithm sequence.
The formula for the natural logarithm sequence is ln(x) = lim(n→∞) (1 + 1/n)^n.
The natural logarithm sequence converges to ln(x) by taking the limit of an increasing number of terms, approaching infinity. As n approaches infinity, the value of (1 + 1/n)^n approaches the value of e, the base of natural logarithms. This leads to the sequence converging to ln(x).
The natural logarithm sequence is significant because it allows us to approximate the value of ln(x) for any positive number x. This is useful in many mathematical and scientific applications, such as solving exponential growth and decay problems.
The natural logarithm sequence is a numerical representation of the natural logarithm function. As the number of terms in the sequence increases, it approaches the value of ln(x) given by the natural logarithm function. The sequence is used to approximate the value of ln(x) for any positive number x.
