Solution

I will analyze the series in the image one by one to determine if they are convergent or divergent.

  1. Series 1: n=122n31n\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} 2^{2n} \cdot 3^{1-n} We can rewrite the general term: an=22n31n=4n3n1=4n3n+1a_n = 2^{2n} \cdot 3^{1-n} = \frac{4^n}{3^{n-1}} = 4^n \cdot 3^{-n+1} This behaves like an exponential series where the base is greater than 1, which suggests it diverges.

  2. Series 2: n=0xn\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} x^n This is a geometric series with a common ratio xx. For a geometric series to converge, x<1|x| < 1. So:

    • If x<1|x| < 1, the series converges.
    • If x1|x| \geq 1, the series diverges.
  3. Series 3: n=11n(n+1)\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{n(n+1)} We can simplify the general term using partial fractions: 1n(n+1)=1n1n+1\frac{1}{n(n+1)} = \frac{1}{n} - \frac{1}{n+1} This is a telescoping series, where most terms cancel out. The series converges because the remaining terms approach zero.

  4. Series 4: n=11n\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{n} This is the harmonic series, which is known to diverge.

  5. Series 5: n=1(3n(n+1)+12n)\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \left(\frac{3}{n(n+1)} + \frac{1}{2^n}\right) The first part of the sum is again a telescoping series, which converges. The second part, 12n\sum \frac{1}{2^n}, is a geometric series with a ratio r=12r = \frac{1}{2}, so it also converges. Therefore, this series converges.

Summary:

  1. Divergent.
  2. Converges if x<1|x| < 1, diverges otherwise.
  3. Convergent.
  4. Divergent.
  5. Convergent.
