Solution Summary

This posting explains different methods of testing convergent or divergent series.

Solution Preview

1. Use the ratio to determine if the following sequences are monotonic increasing, decreasing or neither.

Solution:

We can't say whether the term is less than 1 or greater than 1.
Thus the given series neither increasing nor decreasing.

2. Use the derivative test to determine if the following sequences are monotonic increasing, decreasing or neither.
