QUESTION:

Use the Integral Test to determine whether the series is convergent or divergent.

\(\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} n^{-0.3}\)

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 3

Integral test: let f be a non-negative decreasing function on \((1, \infty)\). Then the series \(\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} f(x)\) and the improper integral \(\int_{1}^{\infty} f(x) d x\) converge or diverge together on \((1, \infty)\) if \(\int_{1}^{\infty} f(x) d x=\text { finite }\) then the series will be convergent otherwise divergent.
