Original question and givens

For an arbitrary fixed real L, u(n)=L+(-4)/(n+4) on natural indices starting at zero, with d=4≥1. With ε=4/1>0 and candidate N=0, does every n≥N have |u(n)−L|<ε, including n=N?

  • G001 — For an arbitrary fixed real L, u(n)=L+(-4)/(n+4) on natural indices starting at zero, with d=4≥1. With ε=4/1>0 and candidate N=0, does every n≥N have |u(n)−L|<ε, including n=N?

Definition and scope

Use the original question domain, assumptions and cited MKO definitions. This item has second-context mathematical and bilingual review, with the model, answer and every arithmetic step independently recomputed from the original parameters; the source question remains a candidate.

Step-by-step derivation

S001 · implies

Before

source roles = [qf-sequence-limit-cutoff-validity, cutoff_validity]

After

derived = [strict_all_n_ge_N_tail_validity]

Conditions: none

Use the declared scalar/set/Yes-No/fraction answer role;integer fractions retain/1.Do not add an undeclared domain or change original bilingual data,formulas or questions.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: R56_source_answer_role_and_EXACT_family_interface · Uses: G001

S002 · implies

Before

source roles = [-4, 4, naturals_from_zero]

After

derived = [4, u(n)=L+c/(n+d), |u(n)-L|=|c|/(n+d)]

Conditions: none

The premise is the WHOLE law for every n>=0,not a finite prefix.With d>0,the denominator is positive and increasing.Subtract L before taking the absolute value.In error/cutoff tasks L is an arbitrary fixed real,not an invented input parameter.

S003 · calculation

Before

Sequence ORIGINAL absolute c times epsilon denominator := mul(4, 1)

After

Sequence ORIGINAL absolute c times epsilon denominator = 4

Conditions: none

Perform exact rational arithmetic on the ORIGINAL roles.SAFE bounds raw inputs only;derived integers are unbounded and never approximated by floats.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S002

S004 · implies

Before

source roles = [4, 4]

After

derived = [1, 0, left=quot*eps_n+rem, 0<=rem<eps_n]

Conditions: none

Because eps_n>0,integer division yields the exact floor and remainder.No floating rounding or ceil replacement is allowed.Derived products/quotients may exceed SAFE;the raw inputs alone are SAFE-bounded.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: Sequence_EXACT_floor_quotient_remainder_NO_float_or_ceil · Uses: G001, S003

S005 · calculation

Before

Sequence cutoff ORIGINAL N plus d := sum(0, 4)

After

Sequence cutoff ORIGINAL N plus d = 4

Conditions: none

Perform exact rational arithmetic on the ORIGINAL roles.SAFE bounds raw inputs only;derived integers are unbounded and never approximated by floats.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S004

S006 · calculation

Before

Sequence cutoff ORIGINAL epsilon numerator times N plus d := mul(4, 4)

After

Sequence cutoff ORIGINAL epsilon numerator times N plus d = 16

Conditions: none

Perform exact rational arithmetic on the ORIGINAL roles.SAFE bounds raw inputs only;derived integers are unbounded and never approximated by floats.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S005

S007 · implies

Before

source roles = [-4, 4, 4, 1, 0, 4, 16]

After

derived = [Yes, Yes]

Conditions: none

Test STRICT < at N;equality is No.Since denominators increase for n>=N,success at N gives the whole tail,and failure at N itself is a counterexample.Do not test N+1 instead,or infer minimality from mere validity.

Result

Yes

The full substitutions and premise checks give the original answer; source identity,format and status are unchanged.
