\

The integral Test :

\

If $\"\"$ is positive, continous, and decreasing for $\"\"$ and $\"\"$ then $\"\"$ and $\"\"$ either converge or both diverge.

\

$\"\"$

\

The integral series is $\"\"$

\

The summation notation of series is $\"\"$ .

\

Let the function be $\"\"$ .

\

Find the derivative of the function.

\

$\"\"$ .

\

$\"\"$ .

\

$\"\"$ the function is decreasing for $\"\"$ .

\

$\"\"$ is positive, continuous and decreasing for $\"\"$ .

\

$\"\"$ satisfies the conditions of Integral Test.

\

Integral Test is applicable for the series series.
