Use the limit comparison test to determine if the series converges or diverges.
Converges
Diverges
Therefore, by the limit comparison test, the original series also diverges.
Step 1 :Identify a simpler series to compare with. In this case, we can use
Step 2 :Calculate the limit as n approaches infinity of
Step 3 :Simplify the above expression:
Step 4 :As n approaches infinity, the term
Step 5 :Since the limit is a finite number (not equal to zero), we can conclude that the series
Step 6 :Since the series
Step 7 :Therefore, by the limit comparison test, the original series also diverges.
