Question

one last one, so sorry! thanks so much!

how would I test the series for convergence or divergence?

the series from n=1 to infinity of 1/(arctan(2n))

Answer 1

Lim 1/(arctan(2n)) for n ---> infinity = 2/pi.

So, because the limit is not zero, the series cannot converge. Note that a limit of zero does not guarantee convergence, so it is a necessary but not sufficient condition for convergence that, in this case, was not met.
