2. Consider the series
E (In(2n + 1) – In(2n – 1)).
n=1
(a) Let a, = In(2n + 1) – In(2n – 1). Does {a,}1 converge or diverge?
(b) Let Sy be the Nth partial sum of the series, i.e.
SN =E (In(2n + 1) – In(2n – 1)).
n=1
1.
Simplify this expression for the Nth partial sum as much as possible by rewriting the
expression for SN without sigma notation (i.e. expand the sum).
(c) Use your expression for the Nth partial sum from (b) to show that this series diverges.
Could you have also concluded this from the Divergence Test?
