Determine whether the series converges or diverges. Give the sum of the convergent series.
Let 0 < p < 1. Evaluate the limit
Explain why we cannot use a p-series with 0 < p < 1 in a limit comparison test to verify the divergence of the series
Leila, in her capacity as a population biologist in Idaho, is trying to figure out how many salmon a local hatchery should release annually in order to revitalize the fishery. She knows that ifsalmon spawn in Redfish Lake in a given year, then only fish will return to the lake from the offspring of that run, because of all the dams on the rivers between the sea and the lake. Thus, if she adds the spawn from h fish, from a hatchery, then the number of fish that return from that run k will be .
(a) Show that the sustained number of fish returning approaches as k→∞.
(b) Evaluate .
(c) How should Leila choose h, the number of hatchery fish to raise in order to hold the number of fish returning in each run at some constant P?

Whenever a certain ball is dropped, it always rebounds to a height p% (0 < p < 100) of its original position. What is the total distance the ball travels before coming to rest when it is dropped from a height of h meters?
