Use Theorem 9.11 to determine the convergence or divergence of the p-series. 1 + 1/32 squareroot + 1/243 squareroot 3 + 1/1024 squareroot 4 + 1/3125 squareroot 5 + p = converges

Diverges

Step-by-step explanation:

since the value of  P = 5/6 < 1  the p-series diverges

summation of 1/n^5/6  at n = 1 and infinity

attached below is the detailed solution using Theorem 9.11 to determine the convergence or divergence of the p-series

1.4

2.3

step-by-step explanation:

the formula for the constant of variation is

y= kx

divide each side by x

y/x =kx/x

y/x =k

we know a and y

1.   y/x = k

4/1 =4

check the other values to make sure they are the same

8/2 = 4   12/3 =4   and 16/4 =4  

the constant of variation is 4

2.   y/x = k

3/1 =3

check the other values to make sure they are the same

6/2 = 3   9/3 =3   and 12/4 =3  

the constant of variation is 3
