sum from n=0 to infinity of (-1^n)/n

n = 0 \sum \infty \frac{- 1 ^{n}}{n}

diverges

Solution steps

n = 1 \sum \infty \frac{- 1 ^{n}}{n}

Apply the constant multiplication rule:

\sum c \cdot a_{n} = c \cdot \sum a_{n}

= - n = 1 \sum \infty \frac{1 ^{n}}{n}

Simplify

= - n = 1 \sum \infty \frac{1}{n}

Apply Cauchy's Convergence Condition:

diverges

= - diverges

= diverges
