Let's analyze each series to determine if it converges or diverges:
#3:
1) Series with function (1 / (n * √n)):
This series can be compared to the p-series with p = 3/2. Since 3/2 is greater than 1, the p-series converges. Therefore, the given series also converges.
2) Series with function (1 / 3^n):
This is a geometric series with a common ratio (r) of 1/3. Geometric series converge if |r| < 1. In this case, |1/3| = 1/3, which is less than 1, so this series converges.
3) Series with function (1 / (n * ln(n)):
You can use the integral test to check convergence. If you integrate (1 / (x * ln(x))) with respect to x from 2 to ∞, the integral converges, indicating that the series also converges.
So, all three series (Choice 1, Choice 2, and Choice 3) converge.
#4:
The given series has a function (1 / (2^n - n)). We can use the limit comparison test to determine its convergence behavior.
We'll compare it to the series with the function (1 / 2^n):
(1 / (2^n - n)) / (1 / 2^n) = (2^n) / (2^n - n)
As n approaches infinity, the limit of this ratio is 1, which means the given series behaves similarly to the harmonic series. The harmonic series (1/n) diverges.
Therefore, the correct statement for #4 is "The series diverges by limit comparison to the harmonic series 1 is the lower limit; ∞ is the upper limit; the function is (1/n)."
