1. ## Series C/D ?

hi

am stuck here =S

sigma(2-->infinity) 1 / (ln n)^9

2. Please any help for this ??
I belive it can be solved

Thanks, but is it impossible to solve it using the standard tests ?
i saw it in an incomplete exam in my college =S
and cauchy's test is not covered in our material..

Not as far as I can tell right now, and the condensation test is pretty standard.

Use basic comparsion.
$\begin{gathered}
\ln \left( {\sqrt[9]{n}} \right) \leqslant \sqrt[9]{n} \hfill \\
\ln (n)^9 \leqslant 9^9 n \hfill \\
\frac{1}
{{\ln (n)^9 }} \geqslant \frac{{9^{ - 9} }}
{n} \hfill \\
\end{gathered}$

\end{gathered}$
The power is on the "ln n" not just "n"

That is exactly what I wrote: $[ln(n)]^9=ln(n)^9=ln^9(n)$
That is perfectly standard notation.

If it were just on the n it would be $ln(n^9)$ which not what I wrote.

BTW: If you use a computer algebra system you must use $ln(n)^9$

idk this :S
Thank you anyway ^_^

10. There is another solution
Limit comparison test with $b_n=\frac{1}{n^{\frac{9}{11}}}$
The limit $=\infty$
and $\sum b_n$ diverges.
Hence, Our series diverges.
It works, Right?

Did you think you'd get a different answer if you asked twice?

Who told you am searching for different answer here ?
and where is the problem If I search for different answers ?
And in my last post here, I wrote another solution and I asked to check whether its correct or wrong, and you ignore that.
But where is the problem If I'm searching for different answers ?

Haha, I hope my last post didn't sound annoyed. I forgot to put "". What was your question?
