Question: ( 4 pts ) 6 sum _ ( n = 1 ) ^ ( infty ) ( 4 ^ ( n ) )

(4 pts)6\sum_(n=1)^(\infty )(4^(n))/(2^(n)+5^(n)) converges or diverges. Compare \sum_(n=1)^(\infty )(4^(n))/(2^(n)+5^(n)) to \sum_(n=1)^(\infty )(4^(n))/(2^(n))\sum_(n=1)^(\infty )(4^(n))/(2^(n))=\sum_(n=1)^(\infty )2^(n) which is a geometric series with r=2 Since |r|=2>1,\sum_(n=1)^(\infty )2^(n) diverges and thus \sum_(n=1)^(\infty )(4^(n))/(2^(n)+5^(n)) also diverges by Comparison Test
