wish I could like this video more than once!

make a video with more complex sequences :D. What if it contains logs, for example?

in the first sequence i.e a sub n=(n^2+9n+8)/(n^2-10n), if n=10 then the denominator is going to be equal to 0 and thus the sequence should be diverging, but its not, any reason?

Hey Sal could we do the second derivative and first derivative test cuz if it does converge then there should be two extremum and minimum values

but in the first example the nominator and the dominator converge into infinity, infinity/infinity is undefined. Shouldn't it be divergent?

How 1st one is not divergent, divergence test states that if lim =/ 0 series divergres, and also if we use r=1 series is divergent

Sir, what if the highest degree in numerator is less than the denominamtor? Is it also converging?

But in the first problem the numerator will continue to have and additional 9n whereas the denominator will have a subtraction of 10n.. so as n tends to infinity.. inspite of both having n^2 the numerator will still grow more than the denominator so in that casr shouldn't it be diverging?? Anyone please help

then does that mean divergent is infinity?

I think you were wrong !! bcz: ( 1-1+1-1+1-1...=1/2)
