Question #721f3 Calculus Tests of Convergence / Divergence Integral Test for Convergence of an Infinite Series 1 Answer Eddie Jun 21, 2016 #9# Explanation: #=lim_(n->infty)(3^(n+2)-1)/(3^n+1) * (3^{-n})/(3^{-n})# #= lim_(n->infty)(3^(2)-3^{-n})/(1+3^{-n})# #= lim_(n->infty)(3^(2)-(1/3^n))/(1+(1/3^n)# # = 9# as #lim_{n \to \infty} 1/(3^{n}) = 0# Answer link Related questions What is the Integral Test for Convergence of an Infinite Series?
