Test the series for convergence or divergence

OpenStudy (mony01):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

converges like there is not tomorrow

OpenStudy (anonymous):

*no tomorrow compare it to the geometric series \[\sum\frac{1}{2^n}=1\]

OpenStudy (mony01):

i need to test it by the limit comparison test

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes because \(2^n>2^n-1\) so \[\frac{1}{2^n}<\frac{1}{2^n-1}\] so you do need the limit comparison test

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but since \[\lim_{n\to \infty}\frac{2^n}{2^n-1}=1\] you win right away
