Math Problem Statement
kerjakan tiap soal tersebut untuk membuktikan bahwa tiap soal itu divergen atau konvergen.
Solution
I will analyze the series in the image one by one to determine if they are convergent or divergent.
-
Series 1: We can rewrite the general term: This behaves like an exponential series where the base is greater than 1, which suggests it diverges.
-
Series 2: This is a geometric series with a common ratio . For a geometric series to converge, . So:
- If , the series converges.
- If , the series diverges.
-
Series 3: We can simplify the general term using partial fractions: This is a telescoping series, where most terms cancel out. The series converges because the remaining terms approach zero.
-
Series 4: This is the harmonic series, which is known to diverge.
-
Series 5: The first part of the sum is again a telescoping series, which converges. The second part, , is a geometric series with a ratio , so it also converges. Therefore, this series converges.
Summary:
- Divergent.
- Converges if , diverges otherwise.
- Convergent.
- Divergent.
- Convergent.
