The series is \"\".

\

Divergence test: For the series \"\", If \"\", then the series \"\" is divergent.

\

Here \"\".

\

Find \"\".

\

Rewrite the series as the sum of two other series.

\

\"\".

\

Consider \"\".

\

Observe the series:

\

Common ratio is \"\". \ \

\

Since \"\", the series converges.

\

Consider \"\".

\

Observe the series:

\

Common ratio is \"\".

\

Since \"\", the series diverges.

\

Since the series \"\" diverges then \"\" also diverges.

\

Therefore the series \"\" diverges.

\

\"\"

\

The series is divergent.
