The integral Test :
\If is positive, continous, and decreasing for
and
then
and
either converge or both diverge.
The series is .
The summation notation of series is .
Let the function be .
The function is continuous and positive for all values of .
Apply integration by parts formula :.
Here then
.
Here then
.
Apply LHopital
s Rule to bring the limit to the determinant form.
For If
or
then
.
The series is converges.
\\
The series is converges by the integral test.
