\

Step 1 :

\

 

\

The p-series \"\" is convergent if \"\" and divergent \"\".

\

 

\

\

Step 2 :

\

 

\

The series is \"\".

\

Rewrite the series :

\

\"\"

\

The above series can be written in summation notation as \"\"

\

Compare the series \"\" with p-series \"\", the value \"\".

\

Since \"\", the series \"\" is convergent.

\

 

\

\

Solution :

\

 

\

The series is convergent.
