SUMMARY
The expression (2n+3)/(4n+5) represents a sequence that converges to 1/2, but it does not form a convergent series. According to the established theory, for a series ∑{an} to be convergent, the limit of the sequence {an} must approach 0. In this case, the limit of {an} is 1/2, indicating that the series ∑_{n=0}^∞ (2n+3)/(4n+5) diverges. This distinction between sequences and series is crucial in understanding convergence in mathematical analysis.
