∑ (from k = 1 to ∞)(⁵√k) / ⁵√(k⁷ + 1)

검증된 단계별 안내

First, rewrite the general term of the series to better understand its behavior: the term is given by \(\frac{\sqrt[5]{k}}{\sqrt[5]{k^{7} + 1}}\).

Simplify the expression inside the fifth root in the denominator by factoring out \(k^{7}\): \(\sqrt[5]{k^{7} + 1} = \sqrt[5]{k^{7}(1 + \frac{1}{k^{7}})}\).

Use the property of roots to separate the terms: \(\sqrt[5]{k^{7}(1 + \frac{1}{k^{7}})} = \sqrt[5]{k^{7}} \cdot \sqrt[5]{1 + \frac{1}{k^{7}}} = k^{\frac{7}{5}} \cdot \sqrt[5]{1 + \frac{1}{k^{7}}}\).

Rewrite the original term as \(\frac{k^{\frac{1}{5}}}{k^{\frac{7}{5}} \cdot \sqrt[5]{1 + \frac{1}{k^{7}}}} = \frac{1}{k^{\frac{6}{5}} \cdot \sqrt[5]{1 + \frac{1}{k^{7}}}}\).

As \(k\) approaches infinity, \(\sqrt[5]{1 + \frac{1}{k^{7}}}\) approaches 1, so the term behaves like \(\frac{1}{k^{\frac{6}{5}}}\). Use the p-series test to determine convergence: since \(\frac{6}{5} > 1\), the series converges.

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 or oscillates.

Comparison Test for Series

The Comparison Test involves comparing the given series to a known benchmark series with positive terms. If the given series is smaller than a convergent series or larger than a divergent series, conclusions about its convergence or divergence can be drawn.

Asymptotic Behavior and Simplification of Terms

Analyzing the behavior of terms for large indices (k → ∞) helps simplify complex expressions. Approximating dominant terms allows us to compare the series to simpler p-series or geometric series, facilitating the application of convergence tests.
