(f) [tex]\displaystyle{\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\Bigg(1 - e^{\frac{-1}{n}}\Bigg)[/tex]
Homework Equations
The test that we have messed with are:
Telescoping, Geometric, P-Series, Ratio, Root, Simple Comparison, Limit Comparison, Absolute Convergence, Alternating Series, Dirichlet, Integral, Gauss
The Attempt at a Solution
First, I got they all converge:
(a) (d)
I worked 'd' first. I did a limit comparison test with 1/n
[tex]\frac{\frac{1}{n}}{\frac{1}{n^{1 + \frac{1}{n}}}} = n^{n}[/tex]
That limit is 1. And since its absolute value converges (a) converges.
(b) Basic Comparion test wtih <= [tex]\frac{e}{n^{2}}[/tex]
(c) Alternating series test
(e) Integral test
(f) I am not sure which test to apply
