Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
I am stuck on this. I think its divergent but I am having trouble proving that it is divergent. I tried to break up the sequence using partial sums but I don't see a pattern. What I also don't get is what [itex]y_1[/itex] is equal too. Is it [itex]y_1=\frac{1}{1+1}+\frac{1}{1+2}+...+\frac{1}{2*1} [/itex] or is it equal to [itex]y_1=\frac{1}{1+1} [/itex]? I've been stuck for quite a while.
