Given the series Σ (from n=1 to ∞) of (5n + 2)/(2n² + 1), calculate the limit as n approaches infinity. Determine whether the series diverges using the Divergence Test. Show your work. For the series Σ (from n=1 to ∞) of (n³ - 4)/(3n³ + 2), find the limit as n approaches infinity. Use the Divergence Test to conclude if the series diverges. Show your work.
