Question Number 85708 by Roland Mbunwe last updated on 24/Mar/20

lim_(n−∞)   /((U_n +1)/(Un))/   >0  Test for convergence

$${li}\underset{{n}−\infty} {{m}}\:\:/\frac{{U}_{{n}} +\mathrm{1}}{{Un}}/\:\:\:>\mathrm{0} \\ $$ $${Test}\:{for}\:{convergence} \\ $$

test for convergence states that   if U_n  is a sequence and   • lim_(x→∞)  ∣(U_(n+1) /U_n )∣ > 1  ⇒ U_n  is divergent.  • lim_(x→∞)  ∣(U_(n+1) /U_n )∣ < 1 ⇒ U_n  is convergent.  • lim_(x→∞)  ∣(U_(n+1) /U_n )∣ = 1 ⇒ inconclusive
