Homework Statement
Not really sure where tou go with this one.
Homework Equations
If the nth partial sum of a partial series is given by,
Sn= [tex]\frac{1}{n+1}+\frac{1}{n+2}+...+\frac{1}{2n}[/tex] = [tex]\sum_{k=1}^{n}[/tex][tex]\frac{1}{n+k}[/tex]
a) write the associated series
b) test for convergence
c) if possible, determine its limit
The Attempt at a Solution
Here is what I have come up with:
[tex]s_1[/tex]=1/2
[tex]s_2[/tex]=1/2+1/3+1/4
[tex]s_3[/tex]=1/2+1/3+1/4+1/5+1/6
[tex]a_n = \left\{ \begin{array}{c} \frac{1}{2} \text{ for }n=1 \\ \frac{1}{2n-1}+\frac{1}{2n} \text{ for }n\geq 2 \end{array} \right.
[/tex]
I don't know what to do next. What do I do with the 1/2?
I am pretty sure I can handle b and c, I just need help with a.
Thanks in advance!
