Homework Statement
Does this series converge absolutely or conditionally?
Homework Equations
Series from n=1 to ∞ (-1)^(n+1) * n!/2^n
The Attempt at a Solution
In trying to apply the alternating series test, I have found the following:
1.) n!/2^n > 0 for n>0
2.) Next, in testing to see if n!/2^n is decreasing, I found that (n!/2^n)/((n+1)!/2^(n+1)) < 1 for n large.
Stopping here, this suggests the series diverges in its original form. Is this correct? Thank you!
