\"\"

\

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.
