Solution to 11.7.36 11.7.

36 1 (ln n )ln n n=2 Note that for n > 0 we have n > ln n = an > aln n (for a > 1) 1 1 = n < ln n a a so for n > e, using the Comparison Test 1 1 < , (ln n)ln n (ln n)n where we now determine the convergence of the series 1 (ln n)n n=3 using the Root Test,

lim

1 1 | = lim n ln n (ln n)n =0 < 1.

Thus by the Root Test this series converges absolutely, hence the original series converges by the comparison test. Note the convergence of the original series is absolute due to the terms being all positive.
