Thread: Convergence of series

Hi,



I tried using the ratio test (ended up with 1 so wasn't helpful), similarly the nth root test and integral comparison test didn't work.

Can I say that:

frac{n+2}{n^3 +1} \leq \frac{1}{n^2}" alt="\frac{n+2}{n^3 +1} \leq \frac{1}{n^2}" />

and 1/n^2 converges by the integral comparison test, so by the comparison theorem, the sum converges?

Is the above correct? Thanks

edit: I couldn't get the Latex to work so I've taken off the tags, sorry!

try the limit comparison test with the known convergent series

Hi

To use LaTeX put (TEX)(/TEX) tags around the text you want texified except that you shoul put [ instead of ( and ] instead of ) .

Thanks for the help. That's what I did, I just wasn't sure if it was right. Thank you!

When I put the tags around it comes up like this

edit: it's working now! but I literally just copied and pasted form my original post! I'll try again.

Simple comparison works.
