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.
