\"\"

\

(a)

\

\"\" and \"\" are series with positive terms.

\

Suppose that \"\" and \"\" diverges.

\

From the definition of limit of convergence there exist \"\" such that for all \"\",\"\".

\

Which means \"\".

\

If \"\" diverges then so does \"\".

\

Hence by the comparision test \"\" is diverges.\"\"

\

(b)

\

(i) The series is \"\".

\

Consider \"\".

\

Let \"\" and it is diverges by \"\"-series test.

\

\

Find \"\".

\

\"\"

\

\"\"

\

\

\"\".

\

If \"\" and \"\" diverges then the series \"\" is diverges.

\

The series \"\" is diverges.

\

\"\"

\

(ii) The series is \"\".

\

Let \"\" and \"\" diverges.

\

Find \"\".

\

\"\"

\

\"\".

\

If \"\" and \"\" diverges then the series \"\" is diverges.

\

The series \"\" diverges.

\

(a) If \"\" and \"\" diverges then the series \"\" is diverges.

\

(b)

\

(i) The series \"\" is diverges.

\

(ii) The series \"\" diverges.
