Direct comparison test:
\Let
for all
.
1.If
convergence, then
convergence.
2.If
diverges, then
diverges.
The series is
. Here
and
.
Observe that
.
.
The series is in the form of geometric series.
\The general form of geometric series is
.
Here
and
.
is geometric series.
Convergence of a geometric series:
\A geometric series with common ratio
diverges if
.
If
then the series converges to the sum
.
with ratio
.
The series is converges to the sum of series.
\
.
The series is converges to
.
Using the direct comparision test if the series
is converges, then
is converges.
Therefore, the series
is converges.
The series
is converges.
