Step 1:

\

The series is \"\".

\

Expand the summation :

\

\"\"

\

\"\"

\

The series is alternating harmonic series.

\

Alternating series test :

\

If the alternating series \"\"  satisfies,

\

(i) \"\" for all \"\".

\

(ii) \"\"  then the series is convergent.

\

Here \"\" and \"\".

\

\"\"

\

Thus, the first condition of the alternating test satisfied.

\

Step 2 :

\

Consider  \"\"

\

Find \"\".

\

\"\".

\

\"\"

\

The second condition of the alternating test satisfied.

\

Hence the series \"\" is convergent.

\

Solution:

\

The series is \"\" is convergent.
