Homework Statement
Either the Comparison Test or Limit Comparison Test can be used to determine whether the following series converge or diverge.
which test you would use (CT or LCT)
[ii] which series you would use in the comparison.
[iii] does the series converge or not
The series of (root(n^4 +1) - n^2) n goes from 1 to infinity
2. Relevent equations
Series of 1/n^2? I am not too sure
The Attempt at a Solution
So what i did was drag out the n^2 from the root so it becomes (n^2)(root(1+(1/n^4)))
and I know i Think i have to compare this with 1/n^2 , I know this series converge, but however I do not know how to explain correctly, to compare it with 1/n^2, if 1/n^2 really is the right one to compare to, or should i be using limit comparison test? I am quite lost at the moment, I have tried everything, but the fact that all I can use is CT and LCT, I really don't know how to solve it. I know that root (n^4 + 1) is just really close to n^2, its that (+1) that make this series happen... Pleasee and thanks :)
