I want to show that the series whose nth term is
an=ln(1+(−1)nn+1) is convergent. I wanted to use the limit comparison test to compare it to the p series but an is not positive. I thought of writing the power series representation of an using the power series representation of ln(1+x) with x=bn=(−1)nn+1 we find that
an=bn−12b2n+13b3n−14b4n+⋯
Now the seris ∑bn is convergent by the alternating series test and the other terms are all terms of absolutely convergent series but it is an infinte sum, can I say so ? I mean is the infinite sum of convergent series a convergent series ? Is this correct and is there any other way to do it ?
