The integral Test:
\If is positive, continous, and decreasing for
and
then
and
either converge or both diverge.
The integral series is .
The summation notation of series is .
Let the function be .
Find the derivative of the function.
\.
for

satisfies the conditions of Integral Test.
Integral Test is applicable for the series.
\.
Integrate on each side.
\.
Apply integrate by parts: .
Let .
Apply drivative on each side.
\Integrate on both side.
\Substitute ,
,
