Consider the given series as:
So, Let and
By using the comparison test, which states
Let and be two series of positive terms and let be convergent. Then converges, if
(a) If for all natural numbers
(b) where k is > 0 and finite.
(c) finite limit
Therefore,
Let
Consider
=
=
= 1 (Finite)
Therefore, by comparison test, and converge and diverge together.
Since, = which is convergent by p test as p = 2(>1).
p test states that:
The infinite series
(i) Convergent when p > 1 and Divergent when p ≤1.
Therefore, also converges.
