The series is
.
Divergence test: For the series
, If
, then the series
is divergent.
Here
.
Find
.
Rewrite the series as the sum of two other series.
\
.
Consider
.
Observe the series:
\Common ratio is
. \ \
Since
, the series converges.
Consider
.
Observe the series:
\Common ratio is
.
Since
, the series diverges.
Since the series
diverges then
also diverges.
Therefore the series
diverges.
The series is divergent.
