Question

Does the following series converge or diverge?

Answer 1

Answer:

converge

Step-by-step explanation:

the reason is : the individual terms of the series get smaller and smaller towards 0, and therefore the sum converges to a certain limit.

why do I know that the individual terms get smaller and smaller ?

because the terms are ultimately (with n getting very large the constant factors added constants become irrelevant)

n / (n^(3/2))

as sqrt(n³) = n^(3/2)

and n^(3/2) progresses much faster and stronger than n (or n¹), as 3/2 is larger than 1.

so, the denominator (bottom) of that fraction grows stronger than the numerator (top), and the terms go therefore against 0 with larger and larger n.
