Section 10.6 : Integral Test
1. Determine if the following series converges or diverges
\[\sum\limits_{n = 1}^\infty {\frac{1}{{{n^\pi }}}} \] Show SolutionThere really isn’t all that much to this problem. We could use the Integral Test on this series or we could just use the \(p\)-series Test we discussed in the notes for this section.
We can clearly see that \(p = \pi > 1\) and so by the \(p\)-series Test this series must converge.
