1. Test the following Series for convergence:
1÷1.2 +2÷3.4+3÷5.6
Answers
Answer:
The nth term is n/(2n - 1 + n/5) = 1/(2 - 1/n + 1/5) = 1/(11/5 - 1/n).
The limit of |(n+1)th term|/|nth term| as n -> inf is given by...
lim (11/5 - 1/n)/(11/5 - 1/(n+1)) > lim (11/5)/(11/5 - 1/n) = lim 11/(11 - 5/n) = 1.
Thus, by the ratio test, the series diverges (to +inf).
Alternatively, note that 1/(11/5 - 1/n) > 1/(1 - 1/n) = 1/((n-1)/n) = n/(n-1).
Since lim n/(n-1) = 1, this (other) series diverges. The divergence of our series then follows via the comparison test.
Most simply, we can note that lim 1/(11/5 - 1/n) = 5/11 > 0. This is a sufficient condition for the series to diverge.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
I assume that this is multiplication which come normarlly in series questions
. = *
Lets start
Nth term is = n / (2n- 1) * 2n
Lim n tends to infinity n / ( 2n -1) *2n
= 1/2n-1
Take n as common
Un = 1/n (2 - 1/n )
Take Vn = 1/n
Lim n tends to infinity Un/Vn = 1/n( 2 -1/n ) /1/n
Un/Vn = 1 / (2 - 1/n ) .: 1/n= 0 due to n tends to infinity.
Un/ Vn =1/2
Hence both converge or diverge together.
Vn = 1/n
n = 1 by comparison test it p <or = 1 is divergent
Hence both series are divergent by comparison test.
