sum from n=5 to infinity of 1/n-1/(n+3)

n = 5 \sum \infty \frac{1}{n} - \frac{1}{n + 3}

converges

Solution steps

n = 5 \sum \infty \frac{1}{n} - \frac{1}{n + 3}

Expand

\frac{1}{n} - \frac{1}{n + 3} : \frac{3}{n ^{2} + 3 n}

= n = 5 \sum \infty \frac{3}{n ^{2} + 3 n}

Apply the constant multiplication rule:

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

= 3 \cdot n = 5 \sum \infty \frac{1}{n ^{2} + 3 n}

Apply Series Comparison Test:

converges

= 3 converges

= converges
