Answer to Problem 51AYU
The series is convergent and the sum of series is
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The series is
Calculation:
For the given series
Calculate
Calculate
Since the ratio of successive terms is same it is a geometric series with common ratio
Since
The sum of infinite series which is convergent is given by,
Therefore, the series is convergent and the sum of series is
