sum from n=1 to infinity of (9^n)/(8^n)

n = 1 \sum \infty \frac{9 ^{n}}{8 ^{n}}

diverges

Solution steps

n = 1 \sum \infty \frac{9 ^{n}}{8 ^{n}}

Apply exponent rule:

\frac{a ^{c}}{b ^{c}} = (\frac{a}{b})^{c}

= n = 1 \sum \infty (\frac{9}{8})^{n}

n = k \sum \infty (a_{n}) = n = 0 \sum \infty (a_{n}) - a_{0} - a_{1} - \dots a_{k - 1}

= n = 0 \sum \infty (\frac{9}{8})^{n} - (\frac{9}{8})^{0}

n = 0 \sum \infty (\frac{9}{8})^{n} =

diverges

If part of the expression diverges, then entire expression diverges
