Step 1:

\

The series is \"\".

\

Rewrite the series in summation form \"\"

\

Ration test :

\

(i) If \"\", then the series \"\" is absolutely convergent.

\

(ii) If \"\"or \"\" , then the series \"\" is divergent.

\

(iii) If \"\", then the ratio test is inconclusive.

\

Here  \"\" and \"\".

\

Find \"\"

\

\"\"

\

If \"\", then \"\".

\

\"\"

\

Hence, by the ratio test, the series \"\" is convergent.

\

Solution:

\

The series \"\" is convergent.
