Calculus II: Sequence Limits & the Divergence Test

Find the limit of each sequence as n β†’ ∞, or show it diverges. For the series questions, apply the divergence test: if the terms do not approach 0 the series diverges; if they do approach 0 the test is inconclusive.

  1. 1.
    Determine whether the sequence aβ‚™ = (n2n^{2} + 5)/(7n^2 + 5) converges or diverges as n β†’ ∞. If it converges, state the limit.
  2. 2.
    Determine whether the sequence aβ‚™ = (8n^2 + 7n + 8)/(5n^2 + 9) converges or diverges as n β†’ ∞. If it converges, state the limit.
  3. 3.
    Determine whether the sequence aβ‚™ = (2n + 9)/(5n^2 + 9) converges or diverges as n β†’ ∞. If it converges, state the limit.
  4. 4.
    Determine whether the sequence aβ‚™ = (4n^2 + 3n + 1)/(2n + 6) converges or diverges as n β†’ ∞. If it converges, state the limit.
  5. 5.
    Determine whether the sequence aβ‚™ = (4/5)n(4/5)^{n} converges or diverges as n β†’ ∞. If it converges, state the limit.
  6. 6.
    Determine whether the sequence aβ‚™ = (5/3)n(5/3)^{n} converges or diverges as n β†’ ∞. If it converges, state the limit.
  7. 7.
    Apply the divergence test to the series Σ[n=1 to ∞] (n + 5)/(2n + 6). What can you conclude?
  8. 8.
    Apply the divergence test to the series Σ[n=1 to ∞] (6n + 2)/(4n + 1). What can you conclude?
  9. 9.
    Apply the divergence test to the series Σ[n=1 to ∞] (3n + 8)/(n2n^{2} + 6). What can you conclude?
  10. 10.
    Apply the divergence test to the series Σ[n=1 to ∞] (7n + 8)/(8n^2 + 9). What can you conclude?
