\
\
\
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.
