(a) State, without proof, the ratio test for the series ∑n⩾1an, where an>0. Give examples, without proof, to show that, when an+1<an and an+1/an→1, the series may converge or diverge.
(b) Prove that ∑k=1n−1k1⩾logn.
(c) Now suppose that an>0 and that, for n large enough, anan+1⩽1−nc where c>1. Prove that the series ∑n⩾1an converges.
[You may find it helpful to prove the inequality log(1−x)<−x for 0<x<1.]
