Test the series for convergence or divergence. ?_{n=1}^? (3^n n!) / (13 ? 18 ? 23 ??? (5n + 8)). Use the Ratio Test and evaluate: lim_{n ? ?} = 1/5 . (Note: Use INF for an infinite limit.) Since the limit is less than 1, the series converges absolutely.

Step 1
We can see that the terms in the sequence Sn are of the form 13 + 5n, so we can write: Sn+9 = 13 + 5(n+2) Sn+8 = 13 + 5(n+1) Substituting these expressions into the limit, we get: lim n→∞ (13 + 5(n+2))/(13 + 5(n+1)) = lim n→∞ (13 + 5n + 10)/(13 + 5n + 5) = Show more…
