`sum_(n=0)^oo (n+10)/(10n+1)` Determine the convergence or divergence of the series.

`sum_(n=0)^oo(n+10)/(10n+1)`


For the series `a_n=(n+10)/(10n+1)`


`a_n=(1+10/n)/(10+1/n)`


`lim_(n->oo)a_n=lim_(n->oo)(1+10/n)/(10+1/n)`


`=1/10!=0`


As per the n'th term test for divergence,


If `lim_(n->oo)a_n!=0` , then `sum_(n=1)^ooa_n` diverges


So, the series diverges.

`sum_(n=0)^oo(n+10)/(10n+1)`


For the series `a_n=(n+10)/(10n+1)`


`a_n=(1+10/n)/(10+1/n)`


`lim_(n->oo)a_n=lim_(n->oo)(1+10/n)/(10+1/n)`


`=1/10!=0`


As per the n'th term test for divergence,


If `lim_(n->oo)a_n!=0` , then `sum_(n=1)^ooa_n` diverges


So, the series diverges.

The best place to look for evidence in regards to what John's plans are for his people is the final paragraphs of the story. John has re...
