k=14(k+2)5
ak=4(k+2)5
ak=4k5(1+2k)5
Let assume that,
bk=1k5
By the limit comparison test,
L=limkakbk
L=limk4k5(1+2k)51k5
L=limk4(1+2k)5
L=4(1+2)5
L=4(1+0)5
L=4
Here L=4 – finite and non-zero, therefore the series is a p-series with p=5(bk=1k5), so the given series is converges by the properties of p-series.
