Hi everyone!
It's about the following task: show the convergence or divergence of the following series (combine estimates and
criteria).

I am not sure if I have solved the problem correctly. Can you guys help me? Is there anything I need to correct? I look forward to your feedback.

Looks fine. If you want to post more problems you may want to learn Latex. See the help pages.

For example:
$$\sum_{k=1}^{\infty}\frac{k^3}{(k^2+2)^2}$$
 
Thank you for your response PeroK! So everything was calculated correct, right?
And yes, I'll try Latex. But how do I have to proceed? I don't find the button for Latex in this forum.

You just type it in. The icon on the top right gives you a preview.

Thank you for learning to post equations using LaTeX. You can click the "LaTeX Guide" link below the Edit window to learn more. :smile:
 
You can also quote a post to see what they did to get latex in their post.

Hi berkeman!
I can't find the Latex Guide. Where is the edit window? I'm quite new in this forum.

Edit: Okay, I found it right now :biggrin: thank you
 
Are you on a phone or your laptop? On a laptop with Firefox browser, I see this:
