In Exercises 21-30use one of the comparison tests to determine whether the series converges or diverges. Explain how the given series satisfies the hypotheses of the test you use.

∑k=1∞1k+0.01.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The series∑k=1∞1k+0.01is divergent.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given information

∑k=1∞1k+0.01.

02

Step 2. The comparison test states that for ∑k=1∞ ak and ∑k=1∞ bk be two series with positive term then,

  1. If limk→∞akbk=Lwhere Lis any positive real number, then either both converge or both diverge.
  2. If limk→∞akbk=0and ∑k=1∞bkconverges, then ∑k=1∞akconverges.
  3. If limk→∞akbk=∞and ∑k=1∞bkdiverges, then∑k=1∞akdiverges.
03

Step 3. The terms of the series ∑k=1∞ 1k+0.01 are positive.

Find ∑k=1∞bkfor the given series.

∑k=1∞bk=∑k=1∞1k

Next findlimk→∞akbkfor the given series.

limk→∞akbk=limk→∞1k+0.011k=limk→∞kk+0.01=limk→∞kk1+0.01k=limk→∞11+0.01k=1

04

Step 4. From the obtained values,

The value of limk→∞akbk=1which is a finite non zero number.

The value of role="math" localid="1649174012625" ∑k=1∞bk=∑k=1∞1kis divergent by p-series test.

Therefore, the series ∑k=1∞akis also divergent.

Hence, the given series is divergent.
