Question

The total number of fungal spores can be found using an infinite geometric series where a1 = 9 and the common ratio is 5. Find the sum of this infinite series that will be the upper limit of the fungal spores.. Select one:. a. 95. b. The series is divergent.. c. 80. d. 25.

Answer 1

The answer is B. The series is divergent

Answer 2

If the common ratio is greater than 1 (which it is in this case), then the series will be divergent. The infinite series will simply keep growing and growing, making it impossible to find the "upper limit." Thus, the correct answer is b.
