Alright so the way labeled "right way" on the picture is the right way according to the book but isn't the way I did with the ratio test right also? What did i do wrong?

It is NOT true that

[tex]\frac{ln(n+1)}{ln(n)}=ln(1) [/tex]
 
  • #3
ln (n+1) / ln (n) isn't ln(1), in the limit or otherwise.

Oh man, I got to brush up on my logarithm rules... Anyway thanks for answerin my question, it has been a big help.

Apply the divergence test directly. take limit n->(infinity) n/lnn. I doubt that goes to zero!
