Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
Using D'Alembert's ratio test, I get lim_{n\rightarrow\infty}\frac{U_{n+1}}{U_{n}}=x
so, x>1 diverging series
x<1 converging series
when x=1, Using Raabe's test I get
lim_{n\rightarrow\infty}n[\frac{U_{n}}{U_{n+1}}-1]=\gamma-\alpha-\beta
so, Series Converges if \gamma-\alpha-\beta>1
and diverges if \gamma-\alpha-\beta<1
However the book has given the answer to be
coverges if \gamma-\alpha-\beta>0
and diverges if \gamma-\alpha-\beta<0
Can anyone point out my mistake, please?
