The given series is conditionally convergent. This can be obtained by using alternating series test first and then comparing the series to the harmonic series.
<h3>Determine if diverges, converges, or converges conditionally:</h3>Initially we need to know what Absolute convergence and Conditional convergence,
If → converges, and
→ converges, then the series is Absolute convergence
If → diverges, and
→ converges, then the series is Conditional convergence
First use alternating series test,
=
= 0,
The series is a positive, decreasing sequence that converges to 0.
Next by comparing the series to harmonic series,
≈
= 0
This implies that the series is divergent by comparison to the harmonic series.
First we got that the series is converging and then we got the series is divergent. Therefore the series is conditionally convergent.
→ diverges, and
→ converges, then the series is Conditional convergence.
Hence the given series is conditionally convergent.

Looking at the problem, you can come up with an equation for the consecutive numbers.
If we expand the second term:
Combine like terms:
You can reduce this by dividing both sides of the equation by two:
And we transpose 170 to get a standard quadratic form that the right side will be zero:
Then factor the left side:
Find out the values of x that makes each factor = 0
x + 14 = 0
x = -14
We can eliminate the negative symbol because the problem is asking for positive even integers.
and;
x - 12 = 0
x = 12
Now we can say that the first positive integer is 12 and the second one is 14
