Determine whether the series converges or diverges.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{ \ln n }{ n^2 }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I assume I use the limit test for convergence/divergence?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Because that clearly goes to 0. So therefore, the sum converges.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

use integral test.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I know I could use integral test but could I also use limit test? Seems easier.

OpenStudy (kirbykirby):

wait is the limit test the one that says that if the limit of \(a_n\) is NOT equal to 0, then it diverges?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no that is nth term test also called divergent test

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ohh. Our prof calls it the limit test.

OpenStudy (kirbykirby):

Well you can't conclude if it gives 0... the converse of the statement is not true
