![We clearly see that (d/dk)((1/(kln(k))))<0 We apply the integral test: u_∞ ≈lim_(n→∞) [∫_2 ^n (dk/(kln(k))) − ln(ln(n))]= =lim_(n→∞) [∫_2 ^n ((d(ln(k)))/(ln(k))) − ln(ln(n))]= =lim_(n→∞) [ln(ln(n))−ln(ln(2))−ln(ln(n))] =−ln(ln(2)) As we know ln≡log_e and e≈2.718 ⇒Since 1<2<e 0<ln(2)<1 Since ln(2)>0 then ln(ln(2)) exists. ⇒u_n converges](https://www.tinkutara.com/question/Q41759.png)
