\

Alternating Series Test :

\

If the alternating series \"\" satisfies

\

(i)  \"\",

\

(ii) \"\", then the series is convergent.

\

\"\"

\

The series is \"\".

\

\"\".

\

The function \"\" is decreasing because denominrator is increasing.

\

Therefore, the sequence \"\" is eventually decreasing.

\

Thus, condition (i) is verified.

\

\"\"

\

Find \"\".

\

\"\"

\

\"\".

\

Thus the given series is convergent by the Alternating Series Test.

\

\"\"

\

The series \"\" is convergent.
