Answer:

The sequence Converges

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the sequence [tex]a_n = \frac{9+14n^{2} }{n+15n^{2} }[/tex]

To find the limit of the sequence, we will first divide the numerator and the denominator through by the highest power of n which is n² as shown;

[tex]\lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{9/n^{2} +14n^{2}/n^{2} }{n/n^{2} +15n^{2}/n^{2} }\\ \lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{9/n^{2} +14 }{1/n +15n^{2}/n^{2 }}\\[/tex]

As [tex]n[/tex] tends to [tex]\infty[/tex], [tex]\frac{a}{n}[/tex] tends to zero where n is any constant, The limit of tyhe sequence as n tends to infinity becomes;

[tex]= \frac{9/\infty+14 }{1/\infty+15 }\\= \frac{0+14}{0+15} \\= 14/15\\[/tex]

Therefore [tex]\lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{9+14n^{2} }{n+15n^{2} } = 14/15[/tex]

Since the limit of the sequence gave a finite number , the sequence converges.

Note that the only case when the sequence diverges id when the limit of the sequence is infinite
