Answer

1) $0.5$ 2) $0.05$ 3) $0.0111$ 4) $0.0037$ 5) $0.0015$ 6) $0.0008$ 7) $0.0004$ 8) $0.0002$ The series appears to be convergent, as the values of the sequence get smaller and smaller toward the value of zero, as n approaches infinity.

Work Step by Step

A convergent series is one that approaches a certain value, as opposed to a divergent series which will approach infinity. If the values of the sequence approach zero, and the function is always positive when it is defined, the series will approach a certain value.
