QUESTION:

(a) Suppose that \(\Sigma a_{n}\) and \(\Sigma b_{n}\) are series with positive terms and \(\Sigma b_{n}\) is convergent. Prove that if

\(\lim _{n \rightarrow \infty} \frac{a_{n}}{b_{n}}=0\)

then \(\Sigma a_{n}\) is also convergent.

(b) Use part (a) to show that the series converges.

(i) \(\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{\ln n}{n^{3}}\)

(ii) \( \sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\left(1-\cos \frac{1}{n^{2}}\right)\)
