The first 10 partial sums, the graph of the sequence of the terms and the sequence of the partial sums and determine if the series is convergent or divergent and hence find the sum of the series.
Answer to Problem 4E
The first 10 partial sums are:
The given series is divergent.
Explanation of Solution
Given: The given series is
Concepts Used: Let
If the sequence
If the sequence
Also, if
Calculations: The first 10 terms of the given sequence are as follows-
The first 10 partial sums are as follows-
Hence, the graph of the terms of the sequence of the partial sums of the sequence is given by-
Now,
Thus, the given series is divergent.
