Transcript text: Determine the following limit or state that the limit does not exist.
$\lim _{n \rightarrow \infty} 4 n=$ $\square$
Solution
Solution Steps
To determine the limit of the expression \( \lim_{n \rightarrow \infty} 4n \), we observe that as \( n \) approaches infinity, the term \( 4n \) will also approach infinity. Therefore, the limit does not exist because it diverges to infinity.
Step 1: Analyze the Limit
We need to evaluate the limit \( \lim_{n \rightarrow \infty} 4n \). As \( n \) approaches infinity, the expression \( 4n \) increases without bound.
Step 2: Determine the Behavior of the Expression
Since \( 4n \) grows indefinitely as \( n \) increases, we conclude that the limit diverges to infinity. Therefore, we state that the limit does not exist in the conventional sense.
Final Answer
The limit \( \lim_{n \rightarrow \infty} 4n \) does not exist, which can be expressed as \\(\boxed{\text{does not exist}}\\).
