In each problem, determine if the series converges absolutely, converges conditionally, or diverges. Show work and state explicitly which test or tests you are using (Ratio, Root, Alternating Series, etc.).

a) The Series (n=1→[infinity] Σ [(-3)ⁿ n²] / n!, absolutely converges!

b) The Series (n=1→[infinity] Σ [(-2)²ⁿ n²] / nⁿ, also, absolutely converges!

Step-by-step explanation:

I'll be using the ratio test.

The ratio test involves taking a ratio of (n+1)th to nth term as n --> ∞

Let the absolute value of this ratio as n tends to infinity be L.

The interpretation of the results of the ratio test:

If the absolute value of the limit of this ratio is less than 1, then the series absolutely converges. That is,

L < 1, the series absolutely converges

If the absolute value of the limit of this ratio, as n tends to infinity, is greater than 1 or tends to infinity, then, the series diverges. That is,

L > 1 or L --> ∞, the series diverges.

If the absolute value of the limit of this ratio, as n tends to infinity, is equal to 1, the test is inconclusive.

L = 1, the test is inconclusive

For this question.

(a) (n=1→[infinity] Σ [(-3)ⁿ n²] / n!

The nth term of the series is given as

[(-3)ⁿ n²] / n!

The (n+1)th term is expressed by replacing n with (n+1). The (n+1)th term is

(-3)ⁿ⁺¹ (n+1)² / (n+1)!

The ratio (n+1)th term divided by the nth term is given by

[(-3)ⁿ⁺¹ (n+1)²/(n+1)!] ÷ [(-3)ⁿ(n²)/n!]

This is evaluated on the first page of the attached image to this solution.

On evaluating the limit of the ratio as n tends to infinity, L = 0

L = 0 < 1, from the list of the interpretations of the ratio test, it is evident that this series absolutely converges.

(b) (n=1→[infinity] Σ [(-2)²ⁿ n²] / nⁿ

The nth term of this series is

[(-2)²ⁿ n²] / nⁿ

The (n+1)th term of this series is

[(-2)²ⁿ⁺² (n+1)²]/(n+1)ⁿ⁺¹

The limit of the ratio, as n tends to infinity, is evaluated on the second and third pages of the attached image.

On evaluating the limit of the ratio as n tends to infinity, L = 0

L = 0 < 1, from the list of the interpretations of the ratio test, it is evident that this series absolutely converges too!

Hope this Helps!!!

In each problem, determine if the series converges absolutely, converges conditionally, or diverges.

Which of the statements about the graph of the function y = 2x are true? check all of the boxes that apply. the domain is all real numbers x because the exponent of 2 can be any real number when the x-values increases by 1 unit, the y-value multiplies by 2. the y-intercept is (0, 1). the graph never goes below the x-axis because powers of 2 are never negative. the range is all real numbers.
