The series is .
Ratio Test :
\(i) If , then the series is
is absolutely convergent.
(ii) If or
, then the series is
is divergent.
(iii) If , then the ratio test is inconclusive.
As ,
.
.
Since , the ratio test is inconclusive.
Now check the convergence of .
Alternating series test :
\Suppose we have the series such that
or
where
for all values of
.
Then if the following two conditions are satisfied the series is convergent.
\(1) for all values of
.
(2).
\
.
Condition 1:
\Substiute for different values of :
The values are decreasing, therefore for all values of
.
Therefore the condition 1 is satisfied.
\\
Condition 2 :
\Hence the series is convergent by alternate series test.
\The series is conditionally convergent.
