Let S(p)=∑n=1∞(p2)nS(p)=\displaystyle \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \left(\dfrac{p}{2}\right)^{n} and T=∑n=1∞(34)nT=\displaystyle \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \left(\dfrac{3}{4}\right)^{n}. For which values of the real parameter pp does S(p)S(p) converge and have a sum greater than TT? a) 0<p<320<p<\dfrac{3}{2} b) p>32p>\dfrac{3}{2} c) 32<p<2\dfrac{3}{2}<p<2 d) −2<p<32-2<p<\dfrac{3}{2}
