\[\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{ n }{ 8n^{3}+6n^{2}-7 }\] which test can be used to show the series converges?

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

compare with 1/n^2

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

n/(8n^3+6n^2-7) <= 1/n^2 and 1/n^2 converges by p series thus by comparison...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So the p series test is the best one to use?

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

no comparison test, is the test being used.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh, it's asking which is the best one to use?

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

comparison test is the answer

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

do you know what the comparison test is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the limit comparison test, you set the n to infinity and see where it goes?

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

we have sum(a_n) if a_n <= b_n for all n and sum(b_n) converges then sum(a_n) converges and since sum(1/n^2) converges, so does your sum(a_n)

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

where a_n = n/(8n^3....)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh, ok. Thank you ;)

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

np

OpenStudy (anonymous):
