∑inn

Short Answer

Expert verified

The series is convergent.

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

The series is ∑inn.

02

Definition of the Convergent series.

A series is said to be convergent if the terms of a series get close to zero when the number of terms moves towards infinity.

03

Test the convergence.

The series is ∑inn.

For in=1.

Where n = 4,8,12,16,...4K..

S1=∑14k

For in=-1.

Where n = 6,10,14,...,4K+2.

S2=-∑14k+2

For (i)n=i.

Where n = 5,9,13...,4k+1.

S3=i∑14k+1

For in=-i.

Where n = 7,11,15,...4k+3.

S4=-i∑14k+3

The value of the series becomes as follows.

S=S1+S2+S3+S4=∑14k-∑14k+2+i∑14k+1-i∑14k+3=∑14k-14k+2+i∑14k+1-14k+3=∑14k(2k+1)+i∑1(2k+3)(2k+1)

The real part is ∑12k(2k+1).

R=∫1∞akdk=∫1∞12k(2k+1)dkn=12∫1∞1k2(2+1/k)dk

Substitute the values given below.

u=2+1kdu=-k-2dk

Lower and upper li it becomes as follows.

Uu=2+1∞=2Ul=2+11=3

The integral becomes as follows.

R=-12∫32duu=-Lnu322=ln(3)-In(2)2=0.2

The imaginary part is ∑=∫1∞bkdk=2∫1∞1(4k+1)(4k+3)dk.

Substitute the values given below.

u = 4k + 1

du = 4 dk

Lower and upper li it becomes as follows.

Uu=∞Ul=4+1=5

The integral becomes as follows.

l=2∫5∞du4u(u+2)=12∫5∞duu2(1+2/k)l=0.08

The value of a complex number becomes as follows.

C=R+il=0.2+i0.08=0.215

Hence the series is convergent.
