Given a series, the ratio test implies finding the following limit:

If r<1 then the series converges, if r>1 the series diverges and if r=1 the test is inconclusive and we can't assure if the series converges or diverges. So let's see the terms in this limit:

Then the limit is:

We can simplify the expressions inside the absolute value:

Since none of the terms inside the absolute value can be negative we can write this with out it:

Now let's re-writte n/(n+1):

Then the limit we have to find is:

Note that the limit of 1/n when n tends to infinite is 0 so we get:

So from the test ratio r=0.4 and the series converges. Then the answer is the second option.
Answer:
Both A and B are true identities
Step-by-step explanation:
A. N ( n − 2 ) ( n + 2 ) = n 3 − 4 n
We need to show that (left-hand-side)L.H.S = R.H.S (right-hand-side)
So,
n ( n − 2 ) ( n + 2 ) = n(n² - 2²) (difference of two squares)
= n³ - 2²n (expanding the brackets)
= n³ - 4n (simplifying)
So, L.H.S = R.H.S
B. ( x + 1 )² − 2x + y² = x² + y² + 1
We need to show that (left-hand-side)L.H.S = R.H.S (right-hand-side)
So,
( x + 1 )² − 2x + y² = x² + 2x + 1 - 2x + y² (expanding the brackets)
= x² + 2x - 2x + 1 + y² (collecting like terms)
= x² + 1 + y²
= x² + y² + 1 (re-arranging)
So, L.H.S = R.H.S
So, both A and B are true identities since we have been able to show that L.H.S = R.H.S in both situations.
Answer:
A. y = 2x - 3
Explaination:
It can't be negative because then the slope would be going downward from left to right, this line is going upwards. Also, the steepness of the slope proves it is a slope of 2 because a slope of 1/2 isn't very steep. You can also count 1 unit over and look how much the line changes to find the slope.
