Ratio Test, SUPER URGENT, help?
Consider the series
∑ n=1 to infinity of asubn, where asubn = [8^(n+4)] / [(8n^2 +7)(5^n)]
use the ratio test to decide whether the series converges. state what the limit is.
From the ratio test I got the limit n-> infinity of
[8^(n+1+4)] / [(8(n+1)^2 +7)(5^n+1)] / [8^(n+4)] / [(8n^2 +7)(5^n)]
= [8^n+5(8n^2 + 7)5^n] / (8(n+1)^2 +7)5^(n+1) (8^n+4)
=[8^n(8^5)(8n^2 + 7) 5^n] / (8n^2 + 16n + 15)(5^n)(5)(8^n)(8^4)
the lim n-> infinity of [262144n^2 +229376] / [163840n^2 + 327680n + 307200]
= 8/5
which is divergence. Is this correct?
