Answer #1

Summary: we will be using following tests for convergence or divergence of series

Now plotting y=x (red colored) and y=sqrt(x)ln(x) (blue colored) in desmos software.

Nth term test is given by:

(Note that Nth term test just gives information about divergence of a series. We can't conclude anything about convergence of series)

Note: for any query or explanation in any step kindly mention it in the comment section. I will assist you as soon as possible.
