  1. Since |12/11|>1, the given series is a divergent series.

    What is convergent and divergent series?

    • n=112n=12+14+18+116+ is a simple example of a convergent series.
    • The partial sums are 12,34,78,1516, and we can see that they are getting closer to 1.
    • The first partial sum is 12 away, the second 14 away, and so on until it approaches 1 infinity.
    • A divergent series is an infinite series that is not convergent, which means that the infinite sequence of the series partial sums has no finite limit.
    • Nicole Oresme, a medieval mathematician, demonstrated the divergence of the harmonic series.
    To determine whether the playlist is convergent or divergent:
    Given –  
    ∑ (1+12ⁿ/11ⁿ)
    ⁿ⁻¹
    As, general form is A+B/C = A/C + B/C.
    So,
    • = ∑ (1/11ⁿ + 12ⁿ/11ⁿ)
    • = ∑1/11ⁿ + ∑(12/11)ⁿ
    • = ∑(1/11)ⁿ + ∑(12/11)ⁿ
    • = ∑(1/11)¹(1/11)ⁿ⁻¹ +  ∑12/11(12/11)ⁿ⁻¹
    • So, ∑ a·rⁿ⁻¹    if |r|<1   →    Convergent.
    • Then |1/11|<1 (convergent) and  |12/11|>1 (divergent)
    • Since |12/11|>1, the series is divergent.
    Therefore, the given series is a divergent series.
