Expert Solution
Step 1

Given

          Series:

                                  k=11ln(ek+1)

 

We can use basic Comparison Test to prove that the following series converges or diverges:

 

According to the Basic Comparison Test,

                        If there are two positive series  k=1an and k=1 bn  such that :

                                                      ank.bn

Then,

                        if k=1bn converges then, k=1an also converges;   

Step 2

Now,

            Consider the given series:

                              k=11ln(ek+1)

Since,

We know:

                          ek+1>lnek+11ek+1<1ln(ek+1)
