Converges

Work Step by Step

Apply the ratio test to the series $\Sigma^{\infty}_{n=1} \frac{n}{4^n}$ $\lim\limits_{n \to \infty} |\frac{\frac{n+1}{4^{n+1}}}{\frac{n}{4^n}}|$, All values are positive $\lim\limits_{n \to \infty} \frac{n+1}{4n} = \frac{1}{4} \lt 1$ Because the answer is less than one, the series converges
