Among several applications of maxima and minima is finding the largest term of a sequence. Let \( a_{n} \) be a sequence. Consider \( f(x) \) obtained by replacing \( x \) by \( n \) e.g. let \( a_{n}=\frac{n}{n+1} \) consider \( f(x)=\frac{x}{x+1} \) on \( [1, \infty) f^{\prime}(x)= \) \( \frac{1}{(x+1)^{2}}0 \) for all \( x \). Hence \( \max f(x)=\lim _{x \rightarrow \infty} f(x)=1 \), so the largest term of \( a_{n} \) is 1 .
The largest term of the sequence \( a_{n}=n /\left(n^{2}+10\right) \) is
(a) \( 3 / 19 \)
(b) \( 2 / 13 \)
(c) 1
(d) \( 1 / 7 \)
\( \mathrm{W} \)
