Question
Given the series:

\[
\sum_{k=6}^{\infty} \left[ \frac{1}{k} - \frac{1}{k + 3} \right]
\]

Does this series converge or diverge?

- ○ diverges
- ○ converges

If the series converges, find the sum of the series:

\[
\sum_{k=6}^{\infty} \left[ \frac{1}{k} - \frac{1}{k + 3} \right] = \boxed{}
\]

(If the series diverges, just leave this second box blank.)
