Answer:

This series is divergent

F

Explanation:

we are given a series

Firstly, we will find nth term

Numerator:

3, 4, 5,...

so, nth term will be


a_n=n+3

Denominator:

4,5,6,....

so, nth term will be


b_n=n+4

so, we can find it's nth term as


c_n=(n+3)/(n+4)

we can use divergent test


\lim_(n \to \infty)  c_n=\lim_(n \to \infty) (n+3)/(n+4)

we can divide top and bottom by n


\lim_(n \to \infty)  c_n= \lim_(n \to \infty) (n/n+3/n)/(n/n+4/n)


\lim_(n \to \infty)  c_n= \lim_(n \to \infty) (1+3/n)/(1+4/n)

now, we can plug n=inf


\lim_(n \to \infty)  c_n= (1+0)/(1+0)


\lim_(n \to \infty)  c_n=1

Since, it is non-zero value

so, this series is divergent
