∑ (from k = 1 to ∞) (10ᵏ + 1) / k¹⁰

검증된 단계별 안내

Identify the general term of the series: $a_k = \frac{10^k + 1}{k^{10}}$.

Observe the behavior of the numerator and denominator separately: the numerator grows exponentially as \$10^k$, while the denominator grows polynomially as $k^{10}$.

Recall that exponential growth dominates polynomial growth, so \$10^k$ grows much faster than $k^{10}$ as $k \to \infty$.

Apply the Divergence Test (also known as the Test for Divergence) by checking the limit of $a_k$ as $k$ approaches infinity: calculate $\lim_{k \to \infty} \frac{10^k + 1}{k^{10}}$.

Since the numerator grows exponentially and the denominator polynomially, this limit does not approach zero; therefore, by the Divergence Test, the series diverges.

주요 개념

질문에 올바르게 답하기 위해 반드시 이해해야 하는 핵심 개념들은 다음과 같습니다.

Convergence of Infinite Series

An infinite series converges if the sequence of its partial sums approaches a finite limit. Understanding convergence is essential to determine whether the sum of infinitely many terms results in a finite value or diverges to infinity.

Comparison Test

The Comparison Test involves comparing a given series to a second series with known convergence behavior. If the terms of the given series are smaller than those of a convergent series, it also converges; if larger than a divergent series, it diverges.

Behavior of Exponential vs. Polynomial Terms

Exponential terms like 10^k grow much faster than polynomial terms like k^10. When analyzing series terms involving both, the exponential growth dominates, often causing divergence despite the polynomial denominator.
