I have some problems here with Series and Convergence...

Here are the problems and my guesses at it.

It won't tell me which one is wrong, but it just says one/all is wrong. Any help is appreciated.

Attempts at solving, I tried using ratio test for these but I can't seem to get it. I need more comprehension of these types of problems I know, but these problems are due by tonight.
Alternating series really give me trouble too.

OH

It was because of the third problem

sin(3n)/n^2

Is it because

sin(3n) / (n^2) ≤ 1/(n^2)

Therefore the p test makes it absolutely convergent?

I had the other 4 right, I figured that one was A though, is this the reason?

Hello MMhawk607. Welcome to PF !

Yes, you had #3 wrong .

It is absolutely convergent.

Thread 'Use greedy vertex coloring algorithm to prove the upper bound of χ'
Hi! I am struggling with the exercise I mentioned under "Homework statement". The exercise is about a specific "greedy vertex coloring algorithm". One definition (which matches what my book uses) can be found here: https://people.cs.uchicago.edu/~laci/HANDOUTS/greedycoloring.pdf Here is also a screenshot of the relevant parts of the linked PDF, i.e. the def. of the algorithm: Sadly I don't have much to show as far as a solution attempt goes, as I am stuck on how to proceed. I thought...
