series convergence

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \sqrt{\frac{ n+1 }{ 4n^{3}+1 }}\]

OpenStudy (misty1212):

HI!!

OpenStudy (misty1212):

the numerator has degree \(\frac{1}{2}\) and the denominator has degree \(\frac{3}{2}\) and since \[\frac{3}{2}-\frac{1}{2}=1\] this will not converge the difference has to be larger than one this is not an actual text mind you, it is just the answer

OpenStudy (misty1212):

you no doubt need the comparison test, or the limit comparison test compare to \(\sum\frac{1}{n}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok using the comparison test this is how I broke it down\[\sqrt{\frac{ n }{ 4n^{3} }}=\sqrt{\frac{ 1 }{ 4n^{2} }}=\frac{ 1 }{ 2n }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then that's divergent so the other one would be divergent

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@misty1212 would that be right?
