Expert Solution
Part a.)

We have,

1 < sqrt(k) or 1 + sqrt(k) < 2sqrt(k)  for all k.

So, 1 / (1 + sqrt(k)) > 1 / 2sqrt(k).

Now, apply Summation from k = 1 to ♾ on both sides of the above inequality to obtain that the required series is divergent using the comparison test as series on the right side is divergent.

Note that Summation k = 1 to ♾ 1 / 2sqrt(k) is divergent as Summation k = 1 to ♾ 1/ kis divergent if p <_ 1, here p =1/2 < 1.
