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.

As
,
.
Since
, then the ratio test is inconclusive.
So apply any alternate method to test the convergence of the series.
\Now check the convergence of
using alternate series test.
Alternating series test :
\Suppose we have the series
such that
or
where
for all values of
.
Then if the following two conditions are satisfied the series is convergent.
\(1)
is a decreasing sequence.
(2)
.
Condition 1 :
\
.
The value of
decreases as the denominator increases.
Condition 2 :
\
.
Hence the series is convergent by alternate series test.
\The series
is conditionally convergent.
