I understand that the harmonic series, [itex]\frac{1}{x}[/itex] is divergent because:
[itex]\int (1/x) [/itex]
from one to infinity is:
[ln(infinity) - ln(1)]
which is clearly divergent.
BUT
When I look at the graph of [itex]\frac{1}{x}[/itex] versus [itex]\frac{1}{x^{2}}[/itex]
they both look like they are converging to zero as
x approaches infinity.
Whats the deal?
