Answer:

<h2>A. The series CONVERGES</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

If \sum a_n is a series, for the series to converge/diverge according to ratio test, the following conditions must be met.

\lim_{n \to \infty} |\frac{a_n_+_1}{a_n}| = \rho

If \rho < 1, the series converges absolutely

If \rho > 1, the series diverges

If \rho = 1, the test fails.

Given the series \sum\left\ {\infty} \atop {1} \right \frac{n^2}{5^n}

To test for convergence or divergence using ratio test, we will use the condition above.

a_n = \frac{n^2}{5^n} \\a_n_+_1 = \frac{(n+1)^2}{5^{n+1}}

\frac{a_n_+_1}{a_n} =  \frac{{\frac{(n+1)^2}{5^{n+1}}}}{\frac{n^2}{5^n} }\\\\ \frac{a_n_+_1}{a_n} = {{\frac{(n+1)^2}{5^{n+1}} * \frac{5^n}{n^2}\

\frac{a_n_+_1}{a_n} = {{\frac{(n^2+2n+1)}{5^n*5^1}} * \frac{5^n}{n^2}\\

aₙ₊₁/aₙ =

\lim_{n \to \infty} |\frac{ n^2+2n+1}{5n^2}| \\\\Dividing\ through\ by \ n^2\\\\\lim_{n \to \infty} |\frac{ n^2/n^2+2n/n^2+1/n^2}{5n^2/n^2}|\\\\\lim_{n \to \infty} |\frac{1+2/n+1/n^2}{5}|\\\\

note that any constant dividing infinity is equal to zero

|\frac{1+2/\infty+1/\infty^2}{5}|\\\\

\frac{1+0+0}{5}\\ = 1/5

\rho = 1/5

Since The limit of the sequence given is less than 1, hence the series converges.

Find the measure of each interior angle of a regular 25 sided polygon
uranmaximum [27]
The formula for finding the total interior angle measure is:

180(n-2)

n is the number of sides.

180(25-2) = 4140

So each interior angle would be: 165.6

4140/25 = 165.6

Hope this helps :)

What’s the error and how can I correct it number 24.
Aloiza [94]

The error is that 9 shouldnt be written as nine it should be written as 3x3 or 3^2. So the answer should be 2^3 x 3^2 because 9 can be divided into even more prime factors of 72.

What is the ratio of red to blue squares in its simplest form?<br> 14 red 4 blue
zlopas [31]

Simplest Form: 7 : 2

How to Simplify a Ratio A : B when A and B are both whole numbers:

  1. List the factors of A
  2. List the factors of B
  3. Find the greatest common factor of A and B, GCF(A, B)
  4. Divide A and B each by the GCF
  5. Use the whole number results to rewrite the ratio in simplest form

Try to reduce the ratio further with the greatest common factor (GCF).

<em>The GCF of 14 and 4 is 2</em>

Divide both terms by the GCF, 2:

14 ÷ 2 = 7

4 ÷ 2 = 2

The ratio 14 : 4 can be reduced to lowest terms by dividing both terms by the GCF = 2 :

14 : 4 = 7 : 2

Therefore:

14 : 4 = 7 : 2
