sum from n=1 to infinity of (5^n)/(4^n)

n = 1 \sum \infty \frac{5 ^{n}}{4 ^{n}}

diverges

Solution steps

n = 1 \sum \infty \frac{5 ^{n}}{4 ^{n}}

Apply exponent rule:

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

= n = 1 \sum \infty (\frac{5}{4})^{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{5}{4})^{n} - (\frac{5}{4})^{0}

n = 0 \sum \infty (\frac{5}{4})^{n} =

diverges

If part of the expression diverges, then entire expression diverges

\int \frac{3 - x}{3 x ^{2} - 2 x - 1} d x

x \to 1 lim ((2 x + 1) (x - 1))

\int \frac{5}{x} - \frac{3}{x ^{2}} d x

\frac{1}{3} x^{3} - \frac{7}{2} x^{2} - 8 x + 3

\int e^{1 - 6 t} d t
