Determine whether the following series diverge or converge.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I said 1 and 2 are convergent and 3 is divergent.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Please help (:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wait

OpenStudy (jskhupmang):

np! :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How does 3/5^n + 3/n diverge?

OpenStudy (jskhupmang):

because coefficient of top and bottom are 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3?

OpenStudy (jskhupmang):

I meant not equal to 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I still do not understand... could you explain further please? :)

OpenStudy (jskhupmang):

sure for instance if the an= 2x+whocare/2x+whocare the only thing you look at is the coefficient

OpenStudy (anonymous):

couldn't we just say it is the infinite sum of 1/5^n + 1/n times 3?

OpenStudy (jskhupmang):

2x/2x =1 which means converge if not it is diverge

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait would 1/5^n be diverging?

OpenStudy (jskhupmang):

I assume it is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you possibly know how or why? :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I just checked and apparently 1/ 5^n does converge.

OpenStudy (jskhupmang):

becuase 1 does not have variable but the denominator which is 5^n power which is any number

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok ty

OpenStudy (jskhupmang):

aha it is not converge
