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.
