@Rossetta Bush is correct!!
Why did the skeleton go to the party alone? Because he had no body to go with him! Ha! So, to answer your question, an example that demonstrates divergence is when a series of numbers keeps getting larger and larger without ever approaching a specific limit. It's like a wild joke that just gets funnier and funnier, without ever reaching a punchline!
To determine which example demonstrates divergence, we need to understand what divergence means. In the context of mathematics and calculus, divergence refers to a property of vector fields.
A vector field is said to exhibit divergence if the vectors in the field "spread out" or "diverge" from a particular point. Mathematically, the divergence of a vector field measures the net flow of the field out of a given point.
Now, let's consider different examples to identify which one demonstrates divergence:
Example 1: A water source in a calm lake
In this example, if we imagine a water source in a calm lake, the water flows outward from the source in all directions. The vectors representing the direction and magnitude of water flow will diverge from the central point (the water source). Therefore, this example demonstrates divergence.
Example 2: A whirlpool
A whirlpool represents a converging vector field rather than a diverging one. The water in a whirlpool flows inward toward the center, indicating convergence rather than divergence. Hence, this example does not demonstrate divergence.
Example 3: A calm lake with no water movement
In this example, where there is no water movement and all points in the lake are still, there is no divergence. There is no spread or flow of vectors from any particular point, and all vectors remain aligned or stationary. Thus, this example also does not demonstrate divergence.
Based on the explanations above, the example that demonstrates divergence is Example 1: A water source in a calm lake.
