Question Number 39703 by math khazana by abdo last updated on 10/Jul/18

let  A_n = ∫_0 ^n    (((−1)^([x]) )/(x+2−[x]))dx  1)  calculate A_n    and lim_(n→+∞)   A_n    2) let S_n  =Σ_(n=0) ^n   A_n    dtudy the convergence of S_n   4) let  W_n = Σ_(n=1) ^n   (1/A_n )  study the convergence of W_n

$${let}\:\:{A}_{{n}} =\:\int_{\mathrm{0}} ^{{n}} \:\:\:\frac{\left(−\mathrm{1}\right)^{\left[{x}\right]} }{{x}+\mathrm{2}−\left[{x}\right]}{dx} \\ $$$$\left.\mathrm{1}\right)\:\:{calculate}\:{A}_{{n}} \:\:\:{and}\:{lim}_{{n}\rightarrow+\infty} \:\:{A}_{{n}} \: \\ $$$$\left.\mathrm{2}\right)\:{let}\:{S}_{{n}} \:=\sum_{{n}=\mathrm{0}} ^{{n}} \:\:{A}_{{n}} \:\:\:{dtudy}\:{the}\:{convergence}\:{of}\:{S}_{{n}} \\ $$$$\left.\mathrm{4}\right)\:{let}\:\:{W}_{{n}} =\:\sum_{{n}=\mathrm{1}} ^{{n}} \:\:\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{A}_{{n}} } \\ $$$${study}\:{the}\:{convergence}\:{of}\:{W}_{{n}} \\ $$

1) we have A_n =Σ_(k=0) ^n   ∫_k ^(k+1)     (((−1)^k )/(x+2−k))dx  =Σ_(k=0) ^n  (−1)^k [ln∣x+2−k∣]_k ^(k+1)   = Σ_(k=0) ^n  (−1)^k {ln(k+1+2−k) −ln(k+2−k)  =Σ_(k=0) ^n (−1)^k {ln((3/2))}=ln((3/2))((1−(−1)^(n+1) )/2)  ⇒ A_n =(1/2)ln((3/2))(1−(−1)^(n+1) ) but the sequence  (−1)^n  is not convegent so  A_n is not convergent!  2) S_n  =Σ_(n=0) ^∞  A_n =Σ_(n=0) ^∞  (1/2)ln((3/2)){1+(−1)^n }  S_n  also diverges  4) we have A_n =0 if n even and A_n =ln((3/2)) if n  is odd so W_n  is not defined!
