\

Alternating Series Test :

\

If the alternating series \"\" satisfies

\

(i)  \"\",

\

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

\

\"\"

\

The series is \"\".

\

The function \"\" is an increasing function.

\

The sequence \"\" is eventually increasing.

\

Thus, the alternating series is not applicable.

\

\"\"

\

Find \"\".

\

\"\"

\

\"\"

\

As \"image\", then \"image\".

\

Evaluate the limits.

\

\"\"

\

\"\".

\

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

\

\"\"

\

The series \"\" is divergent.
