\"\"

\

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.

\

So apply any alternate method to test the convergence of the series.

\

\"\"

\

Limit comparision Test :

\

Suppose we have two series \"\" and \"\" such that \"\" for all values of \"\",

\

then if \"\" then either both series converges or both deries diverges.

\

Use limit comparision test with \"\" and \"\".

\

\"\"

\

The series converges absolutely because \"\" is converging.\"\"

\

The series \"\" is converges.
