Question Number 67244 by Learner-123 last updated on 24/Aug/19

Which of the series converge and   which diverge? Check by the limit  comparison test.  1) Σ_(n=2) ^∞  ((1+n ln(n))/(n^2 +5))  2) Σ_(n=1) ^∞  ((ln(n))/n^(3/2) )  3) Σ_(n=3) ^∞  (1/(ln(lnn)))  4) Σ_(n=1) ^∞  (1/(n (n)^(1/n) ))    ??

1)Σ_(n=2) ^∞  ((1+nln(n))/(n^2  +5)) =Σ_(n=2) ^∞  (1/(n^2  +5)) +Σ_(n=2) ^∞  ((nln(n))/(n^2  +5))  (1/(n^2 +5)) =(1/(n^2 (1+5n^(−2) )))∼(1/n^2 ) so this serie converges  ((nln(n))/(n^2  +5)) =((nln(n))/(n^2 (1+5n^(−2) ))) ∼ ((ln(n))/n)  let determine nature of Σ((ln(n))/n)  f(t)=((ln(t))/t)  with t≥2 ⇒f^′ (t) =((1−lnt)/t^2 )<0 ⇒f  decreases  ⇒  Σ((ln(n))/n)  and ∫_2 ^(+∞)  ((ln(t))/t)dt  are the same nature   changement ln(t)=u  give ∫_2 ^(+∞)  ((ln(t))/t)dt =∫_(ln(2)) ^(+∞)  (u/e^u ) e^u du   =∫_(ln(2)) ^(+∞)  udu =+∞  so this serie diverges.

2) let u_n =((ln(n))/n^(3/2) )    and f(x) =((lnx)/x^(3/2) )   with x>1  we have  f^′ (x)=(((1/x)x^(3/2) −(3/2)x^(1/2) lnx)/x^3 ) =(((√x)−(3/2)(√x)ln(x))/x^3 ) =(1/x^(5/2) )×(1−lnx)<0 ⇒  f decrease so (u_n )decreases  ⇒the serie has the nature of  I∫_1 ^(+∞)  ((ln(x))/x^(3/2) )dx   changement ln(x)=t  give   I =∫_0 ^∞    (t/e^((3/2)t) )dt =∫_0 ^∞ t e^(−(3/2)t)    dt   its clear that I converges ⇒  this serie converges.

f^′ (x) =(1/x^(5/2) )×(1−(3/2)ln(x))<0

$${f}^{'} \left({x}\right)\:=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{x}^{\frac{\mathrm{5}}{\mathrm{2}}} }×\left(\mathrm{1}−\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{2}}{ln}\left({x}\right)\right)<\mathrm{0} \\ $$

Sir, in 1)→ f ′(t) = ((1−lnt)/t^2 ) <0   ∀ t ε (e,∞) . But ≥0 ∀ tε [2,e].

$$\left.{Sir},\:{in}\:\mathrm{1}\right)\rightarrow\:{f}\:'\left({t}\right)\:=\:\frac{\mathrm{1}−{lnt}}{{t}^{\mathrm{2}} }\:<\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\:\forall\:{t}\:\epsilon\:\left({e},\infty\right)\:.\:{But}\:\geqslant\mathrm{0}\:\forall\:{t}\epsilon\:\left[\mathrm{2},{e}\right]. \\ $$

3) the sequence u_n =(1/(ln(lnn))) is decreasing  on [3,+∞[ so  Σ u_n   and  ∫_3 ^(+∞)  (dx/(ln(lnx))) have the same nature   changement lnx=t give ∫_3 ^(+∞)  (dx/(ln(lnx))) =∫_(ln(3)) ^(+∞)  ((e^t  dt)/(ln(t)))  we have lim_(t→+∞)     (e^t /(lnt))  =+∞ ⇒ the integral diverges ⇒Σu_n   diverges.

$$\left.\mathrm{3}\right)\:{the}\:{sequence}\:{u}_{{n}} =\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{ln}\left({lnn}\right)}\:{is}\:{decreasing}\:\:{on}\:\left[\mathrm{3},+\infty\left[\:{so}\right.\right. \\ $$$$\Sigma\:{u}_{{n}} \:\:{and}\:\:\int_{\mathrm{3}} ^{+\infty} \:\frac{{dx}}{{ln}\left({lnx}\right)}\:{have}\:{the}\:{same}\:{nature}\: \\ $$$${changement}\:{lnx}={t}\:{give}\:\int_{\mathrm{3}} ^{+\infty} \:\frac{{dx}}{{ln}\left({lnx}\right)}\:=\int_{{ln}\left(\mathrm{3}\right)} ^{+\infty} \:\frac{{e}^{{t}} \:{dt}}{{ln}\left({t}\right)} \\ $$$${we}\:{have}\:{lim}_{{t}\rightarrow+\infty} \:\:\:\:\frac{{e}^{{t}} }{{lnt}}\:\:=+\infty\:\Rightarrow\:{the}\:{integral}\:{diverges}\:\Rightarrow\Sigma{u}_{{n}} \\ $$$${diverges}. \\ $$
