\"\"

\

The terms of a series are defined recursively by the equations

\

\"\" and 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.

\

Find \"\".

\"\"

\

\"\"

\

\"\".

\

Thus by ratio test  \"\" is divergent.

\

 \"\"

\

\"\" is divergent.
