Step 1:

The series .

Consider image and image.


The partial sum of the sequence for n  terms is .

Now tabulate the partial sum for different values of n.

Step 2:

Graph:

Plot the points of sequnce of terms corresponds to value image with the blue dots.

Plot the points of partial sums corresponds to the image with pink dots.

 

Step 3:

Divergence test:For the series , If , then the series is divergent.

Find

image

If

Since , then the series is divergent.

Solution:

The series is divergent.
