Answer:

b) diverges

Step-by-step explanation:

Given is a series with the terms

\frac{25}{3} +\frac{125}{9} +\frac{625}{27} +...

We find that this series follows a pattern such that each term is multiplied by 5/3 to get the next term.

In other words, this is a geometric series with  I term=25/3 and common ratio=5/3

Sum of geometric series upto n terms

=\frac{a(r^n-1}{r-1} =\frac{25}{3} (\frac{(\frac{5}{3} )^n-1}{\frac{5}{3}-1 } )\\

Since r>1, we find that this series diverges to infinity

Hence answer is

B) divergent

Answer:

Series is divergent .

Step-by-step explanation:

Here nth term of the given series  is

\frac{5^{n+1} }{3^n}

Let the given series be a_{n} =\frac{5^{n+1} }{3^n}

Let b_{n} = = \frac{5^{n} }{3^n}

\lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{a_n}{b_n} \\ \lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{\frac{5^(n+1)}{3^n} }{\frac{5^n}{3^n} }

on simplifying it ,we get

limit of the ratio  = 5 (which is finite and nonzero)

therefore using comparison  test both an and bn converge or diverge together .

for bn  = \frac{5^{n} }{3^n} is a geometric series with

                 common ratio \frac{5}{3}  >1

therefore for bn series is divergent.

therefore an also divergent ( using comparison test)

A ball dropped from the top of a building can be modeled by the function
timama [110]

A ball dropped from the top of the building can be modeled by the function f(t)=-16t^2 + 36 , where t represents time in seconds after the ball was dropped. A bee's flight can be modeled by the function, g(t)=3t+4, where t represents time in seconds after the bee starts the flight.

What is the result of 5/6 + 2/3
Goryan [66]
You can convert 2/3 into a fraction that makes adding a lot easier.

Since 3 times 2 is equal to 6, you can multiply the numerator and denominator of 2/3 by 2 to get 4/6.

From there, you add 4/6 + 5/6 to get 9/6.

Since both 9 and 6 are divisible by 3, you can simplify the fraction to 3/2.

Your final answer would be 3/2
Which can also be formatted as 1 1/2 or 1.5
